Hey there,

I can now export all my notes via shortcut into Markdown, but I would also like to export any attachments, such as images, as well.

Currently, there is an action to export a note, but nothing to export note attachments, although there is the ability to get note files. **Could we have an export note files option, please?**

Get note files should be enough for your purposes.The following exports all the attachments into a location

AH… this is very helpful. Thanks. So it requires a save action directly after. I wonder if the note retains the link to the file too? Let’s see!

For context, I’m adapting a bulk export of notes to markdown, so having the attachments is very useful. My current shortcut is attached, so I’ll need to experiment and see where the Save Note actions you mention above should go (I’m learning!)
