Vault Transfer

Obsidian Vault Transfer

Transfers the contents of the selected note to another vault, then links to it from the original note.

How to use

1. Set the output vault and (optionally) output folder in the settings tab. You can also configure:
   • To create a link to the transferred note in the original note. If set to false, you can allow the plugin to delete the original note.
   • If the file must overwrite an existing file in the target vault.
2. Confirm that the target vault and folder exist.
3. Open the note you want to transfer.
4. Run Vault Transfer: Transfer current note to other vault: From settings.

It is also possible to transfer multiple notes at once. In this case, the plugin will create a folder with the same name as the original folder, and transfer the notes inside it.

You can also use the file-menu to transfer the folder or note, and you can also send to a specific folder in the target vault, or create a new folder in the target vault, and then transfer the note to it.

Other commands

Insert link to current note in other vault

Inserts a link to the current note in the other vault, without transferring the contents. Used when you know a file with the same name already exists in the other vault.

Transfer current note to other vault: From list

If the "Root directory of vaults" setting is configured, this command will allow you to pick any vault within that root to transfer to.

Current Limitations

• This plugin only works on desktop.
• A transfer can only be fired from a Markdown file. Other file types can be transferred alongside a markdown file when linked to, but cannot yet be transferred on their own.
• You need to input the full file path of the target vault in order to transfer, so you may run into problems if you are attempting to use this plugin from multiple devices.
