Filter Files

Introduction

Files to Notion automatically syncs all files within a user-selected directory. Extended Plan users can also set filtering conditions, to narrow down the synchronized files to those most relevant to their needs. Filter by files extension, specific subdirectory / file name patterns, and more. Not having the Extended Plan? Upgrade here.

Example file patterns

Here's an example list of file patterns you can use to filter your files. These patterns allow you to customize which files are synchronized based on your specific needs and preferences. Each pattern demonstrates a different filtering strategy, from including all files to targeting specific file types or locations within your directory structure.
