Your Obsidian saved attachments in Eagle? It's more likely than you think.

Eagle is a Digital Asset Manager for Windows and Mac. This new plugin gives some level of integration between these two programs. When you drop an attachment into Obsidian the file will be stored in Eagle. Amazing! However, currently we can't embed or preview files from Eagle directly into Obsidian - I'm hoping the new Eagle plugin center will change this - but with a third component we can get around this. Amazon S3.

1. Drop file into Obsidian
2. File gets uploaded to an S3 object bucket
3. File gets stored locally in your Eagle Library, in a Folder of your choice along with the S3 url stored with the item
4. Obsidian gets an external embed pointing to the S3 upload, allowing for previews of the attachment files

A tad clunky but the remote upload has some utility beyond just allowing for previews in Obsidian - No Obsidian Sync space taken up by attachments but they will still show up on mobile and other connected Vaults. You can potentially hook this bucket up to other web apps - like mount it in NextCloud - and have some level of online access to your Eagle Library.

FORGOT TO MENTION IN VIDEO: Local upload can also be toggled on a per note basis via YAML Frontmatter and there is a Command Pallet option to upload all images already in a note to S3/Eagle. Check out the Github documentation!

Now we are just missing a media picker from Obsidian that let's you select items already in your Eagle Library!
