Media library

All images, videos, audio and files live in the media library.

Uploading

• Paste a screenshot or drop a file into the editor; it uploads and inserts a reference.
• Or click Upload in the media library.
• The same file uploaded twice is stored once (by content fingerprint): "Duplicate merged".

References look like ivy://res/<id> and display on every device.

Browsing

Filter by images / videos / audio / files and search by name. Select a file to see:

• Size, upload time and fingerprint
• Which notes use it, with links
• Download the original, copy the reference

Public links

To use an image on a blog, select it and click Create public link. Anyone with the link can open the file; revoke it at any time.

When sharing a note, Copy or export turns attachments into public links automatically, ready to paste elsewhere.

Unused files and the trash

• Files no note uses are marked unused and moved to the trash after a set number of days.
• Files in the trash can be restored or deleted permanently; the trash empties itself after its retention period.
• Uploading a trashed file again restores it.

Storage and encryption

Attachments are encrypted in 1 MiB chunks and stored on the server's disk or in S3-compatible storage. See Security.
