Open question - Using the Imgur plugin, how secure is it, into the future?

[Smithy]

Right, let’s see if I can address some points here:

@Compress images when pasted into Obsidian

Keep in mind that Imgur deletes un-viewed images after 6 months.

Yes this is definately a (further) reason to avoid Imgur, and any similar concept.

@Olondre

Regarding your last paragraph, unfortunately I can not give you an alternative, as I will have to figure this out myself in the future.

I’m still working on this. I downloaded my entire image collection from Imgur. Around 800 images and 250MB. Now that will be a long day of re-pasting images, when I work out what my new system will be.

Though there isn’t any plugin to auto-upload a pasted image from Obsidian to Imagekit

There is that app SyncThing which I believe you can use to encrypted sync folders between devices.

Thanks for your suggestions @bryan00, when I work out my new system I will be posting my workflow in a new thread

Thanks all
