FAQs
What if I can’t import the vault?
Check the Vault Folder Structure
Ensure the downloaded vault is in a folder format. Obsidian requires vaults to be stored in a folder containing all the relevant files (e.g., .md files and subfolders).
If your download is a .zip file, unzip it first before trying to import it into Obsidian.
Select the Correct Folder
When setting up your vault in Obsidian, make sure you’re selecting the folder containing the vault files—not individual files or subfolders.
Use Obsidian’s ‘Open Folder as Vault’ Option
Open Obsidian and go to the main screen.
Click “Open folder as vault” and navigate to the folder where your vault is stored.
If this doesn’t work, double-check that the files are not hidden or locked by your operating system.
File Permission Issues
Verify that you have the necessary file permissions to access and modify the folder. On some systems, files downloaded from the internet may be marked as “read-only.”
Ensure Obsidian is Up to Date
Check that you’re running the latest version of Obsidian. Older versions may have compatibility issues with newer vault formats.

Will this vault work with community plugins?

Can I use this vault on multiple devices?
Yes. Here are a few options:
Using Obsidian Sync
Obsidian offers a paid sync service called Obsidian Sync that seamlessly synchronizes your vault across devices.
To set it up:
1. Subscribe to Obsidian Sync through the app or their website.
2. Open Obsidian on your main device and enable Sync in the settings.
3. Log in to the same Obsidian account on your other devices and connect them to your synced vault.
4. Changes made on one device will automatically update across all devices.
Using a Cloud Storage Service
Obsidian offers a paid sync service called Obsidian Sync that seamlessly synchronizes your vault across devices.
You can store your vault in a cloud-based folder that syncs across devices, such as:
• Dropbox
• Google Drive
• iCloud Drive (for Apple devices)
• OneDrive
To set this up:
1. Move your vault folder into the designated folder for your cloud service (e.g., Dropbox folder).
2. Open Obsidian on each device and select “Open folder as vault.” Navigate to the synced folder from your cloud service.
3. Ensure your cloud service syncs automatically to avoid version conflicts.
Manual Transfer
If you don’t want to use a sync service, you can transfer the vault manually:
• Use a USB drive, email, or file-sharing services (e.g., WeTransfer) to copy your vault folder between devices.
• Once the folder is copied to the new device, open it as a vault in Obsidian.
Can I add my own templates to the vault?
Yes, you can easily add your own templates to your Corner Vault! Obsidian is highly customizable, and integrating your personal templates is a straightforward process.
