## Add an attachment
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are several ways to include attachments in your notes:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Copy and paste;
|
||
|
|
2. Drag and drop;
|
||
|
|
3. Download or copy file to vault folder.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After being added, these attachment files are just normal files and can still be accessed through your file system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please note that only [[Accepted file formats]] are handled.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Copy and paste
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Pasting a local file from your system explorer or your clipboard will put the file into your vault.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is very handy when combined with screenshot tools.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Drag and drop
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you drag and drop a file from your file explorer, it will be copied to your vault as well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Download or copy to vault folder
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This can work well when paired with [[Capture information#Use a clipper extension|clipper extensions]].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also download images from your browser into your vault folder directly for later reference.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Change default attachment location
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By default, new attachments will be dropped in the root of your vault. You can fine tune this setting in Settings => Files & Links => "Default location for new attachments".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Choose a folder
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can choose a fixed folder to always place your attachments in. To do this, choose "In the folder specified below", and choose a folder in your vault in the new field that appears.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Alternatively, you can right click on a folder in [[File explorer]] and choose "Set as attachment folder".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Same folder as current file
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sometimes, you may want the attachment files to always be in the same folder as the note you're working on. In this case, choose "Same folder as current file".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Under the current folder
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also choose to save attachments to a folder underneath the folder that the current file is in.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To do this, choose the "Subfolder under current folder" option, and write the name of the subfolder in the field that appears. For example, if you write `assets`, and your note is in `VAULT/folder/path/`, the attachments will be added to `VAULT/folder/path/assets` when you're working on this note.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You don't need to create the subfolder beforehand; if it doesn't exist, Obsidian will create it for you.
