What I’m trying to do

I have several locally hosted OneNote notebooks that I would like to import into Obsidian. Unfortunately, the importer only wants to import notebooks hosted by Microsoft (OneDrive). How can I import these notebooks without uploading them to OneDrive?

Things I have tried

I have tried searching the internet for answers, as well as this forum and haven’t found anything relevant.

I’m looking for a similar solution for the exact same problem.
I don’t want to push my files to Microsoft. Currently I’m storing them only locally.

It would be great if anybody knows a solution for that…
