Install With BRAT

The valiant Obsidian plugin reviewing team is facing an onslaught of submissions. It may be weeks or months until they get to this one and add it to the real directory. Until then, you can install it with a helper plugin called BRAT.

  1. Install BRAT by going to this link or opening Settings -> Community plugins and searching for it. (Enable Community plugins first if needed.)
  2. Toggle BRAT on in your Community plugins list.
  3. Open BRAT settings and click Add beta plugin.
  4. Paste https://github.com/abromberg/obsidian-collaborative-folders and click Add.
  5. Open Collaborative Folders settings, set your display name, then either keep https://collaborativefolders.com or set your own Server URL.
