  • Other file types and attachments aren’t imported directly

FAQs

​
How many files can I import at once?

Import up to about 1,000 files at a time. For larger libraries, split into batches.

​
What should I do if dragging and dropping doesn’t work?

Restart the app and try again. If your export is zipped, unzip first, then drag in the .md/.txt files.

​
Do folder structures come over?

No. Mem imports individual notes. Recreate grouping with Collections after the import.

​
What happens to images or attachments in my notes?

Attachments aren’t imported with the note. Upload them separately (e.g., Google Drive) and add links.

​
Can I import Word docs or Google Docs directly?

Not yet. Export or copy them to Markdown or plain text first, then import.

​
I see duplicates—how do I clean them up?

Multi‑select duplicates from the imported list and delete in bulk. Originals in other apps aren’t affected.

​
What if I lose internet connection during import?

Pause/reconnect and re‑start the import to complete it.
