I recently started using the new Boost Note 0.9 ver. switching from legacy Boostnote because the new Boost Note was added to Homebrew Cask. ref. https://github.com/BoostIO/BoostNote.next/issues/482

But I have the same trouble.

It can be seen that the import tab had been deleted after version 0.9. https://github.com/BoostIO/BoostNote.next/pull/595
I just started using the new Boost Note 0.9 ver. via Homebrew Cask, so I hope you to revert deleting the import tab. Otherwise I can't use this anymore...(That is really sad.)

The function was moved. You can find it in each storage's settings page, note that you need a file system storage type in order to import from legacy.

Can we copy notes from a file system storage to other cloud system storage?

@danieltichiyama The import feature can be found within the settings menu of the storage you want the notes to be imported to.

@shirakiya You can move notes from one storage to another by dragging them from one folder to another.

Thanks for your advice. But I can't do that. Using Mac OS Catalina 10.15.6.
Do you have an another cool method to copy notes?

I don't think we do.
@shirakiya Could you create a new issue with maybe a gif showing that the behavior doesn't work? (Do you get a pop up after dragging the note?)

well, now I'm having a different issue, "Loading Data..." is the only thing that shows, I saw another issue so I'm going to piggy back on that for now.
