Obsidian for Google Drive

Obsidian for Google Drive Edit Google Drive Markdown vaults with live preview, wiki links, and slash commands — an Obsidian-style workspace in Chrome. Obsidian for Google Drive turns a Google Drive folder full of Markdown files into a focused browser workspace. Open a Drive folder like a vault, write in a live-preview Markdown editor, jump between notes with wiki links, and save everything back to Drive — no desktop app required, and your files never change format. Live preview editing: Live preview that hides Markdown syntax while you write — headings, bold, quotes, tables, callouts, highlights, checklists, and images render in place, and the raw text reappears where your cursor is One-click toggle (Cmd/Ctrl+E) between live preview and raw source mode Syntax highlighting for fenced code blocks in dozens of languages Clickable checkboxes, foldable headings, and a readable centered line length Your files stay plain Markdown — nothing is reformatted or converted Navigate like a vault: Click wiki links to jump between notes; unresolved links create the note in place Quick switcher (Cmd/Ctrl+O) with recent-file ranking Back/forward history (Cmd/Ctrl+[ and ]), recent tabs with Alt+1–9 Full-text search across your vault, powered by Drive search Outline, YAML frontmatter properties, and tags in a side panel Write faster: 15 slash commands: headings, lists, checkboxes, quotes, code blocks, tables, callouts, links, and more Editing shortcuts: bold, italic, link, heading levels, list/checkbox cycling, undo history, find and replace (Cmd/Ctrl+F) Auto-continued lists and checkboxes, tag autocompletion, wiki-link autocompletion Templates with {{title}}, {{date}}, {{time}} variables (Alt+T) and daily notes (Alt+D) Built-in shortcut reference from the sidebar help button Built on Google Drive: Version history: browse and restore previous Drive revisions of any note Remote change detection warns you before two devices overwrite each other Local drafts preserve your writing when saving fails Move files between folders, open items directly in Drive, trash-based delete Automatic token refresh and request retry for long sessions Reopens your last note when you come back Why install it: Use it when you want your Markdown vault to stay in Google Drive, but you still want a fast, familiar writing environment in Chrome. It is especially useful on shared computers, work machines, or lightweight setups where installing a full desktop editor is inconvenient. Permissions and data: The extension requests Google Drive access so it can open, create, and save Markdown files in the vault folder you choose. Your documents remain Google Drive files. If saving fails, a local browser draft may be kept so your writing is not lost. This extension is not affiliated with Google LLC or Obsidian.
