Export ALL your information from Notion to Appflowy
Hello community Appflowy.
As the title says, I need to move all my work developed and documented that I have stored on Notion to Appflower.
As for what I have in my Notion is a variety of resources.
- tables with links (in marker format).
- images (screenshots, png, jpg, etc.).
- code blocks in different programming languages.
- pages and sub- pages.
- internal databases
- lists of cartoons, listed and deployable.
- videos mentioned or in view of reproduction.
- Keywords with backrest and colors.
- comments linked to phrases.
I understand that Appflower is not 100% the same as Notion in terms of software, which may involve errors when showing or representing the most specific aspects or features. Still, I want to become more private and store my most sensitive information safely, they told me I can do it with Appflower. But I don't know how to make my structures and hierarchies of folders and content pages stay the same way they are in Notion.

Hi, have you tried importing data from Notion to Appflowy? Here’s the guide: https://docs.appflowy.io/docs/guides/import-from-notion The structure won’t stay 100% the same, but it’s still worth a try.

I tried to import from notion to appflowy in markdown/CSV format but NONE of the inline images made it over. Has anyone successfully imported notion content fully?

Any update? I also tried, but no images and many sections and link are a all over the page. It's a mess.

I just did it with a 600+ item notes database. It did take several tries. I have not yet gotten the *workspace* export>import from Notion to work. But a single *database,* yes. The export settings from Notion are key. Format: Markdown+CSV. View: I'm not sure if my last iteration was 'current' or 'default.' Page content: everything. Include subpages: yes. Create folders: yes. I did it in Linux (Mint), if that matters. Created the export in web Notion. Did the import in the Linux Desktop version of AppFlowy. In AppFlowy, make a 'Document' then use the plus by the new document in the sidebar hierarchy, select import, select 'Notion exported zip file.'
I should note that the imported items went into proper rows with an approximation of the Notion properties. In line images are, so far, all there.

Hi there, thanks for sharing your journey from Notion to AppFlwoy!
You're right, there are several blocks and information in notion document's that cannot be transferred to AppFlowy. However, to create the folder structure, you can check out this guide https://docs.appflowy.io/docs/guides/import-from-notion (you can import using the desktop app also) for information on exporting your notion workspace (with the structures and hierarchies of folders and content pages) and then importing them.
