Obsidian Export-Bases-Files Plugin

简体中文 | English

Export-Bases-Files is an Obsidian plugin designed to bridge the gap between Obsidian's powerful internal Bases feature and your external file system. It allows you to export a specific set of files—filtered by your Bases Table Views—to any folder on your computer with just a few clicks.
