Do you have a good way of storing and organizing images (and other media) in Obsidian? It's the one aspect where I've found its functionality wanting.

I am surprised to hear this, as the Obsidian functionality is the only out-of-box offering I find acceptable in a corporate environment. Other alternatives like notion, logseq, joplin all break my workflow in spite of their selling points, because they do not simply store or reference a file. Obsidian is easy for me because I simply drag and drop something like a pdf or recording, and even if it is not a readable file within the Obsidian view, a file copy is dumped to the attachments folder without altering any of the metadata and a simple path reference is inserted in the fancy-markdown document. You can configure different workspaces/settings to dump to different folders if needed, but I treat mine mostly as a dumping ground that I manage similar to a bucket. If I need to audit images I can simply look at the folder with another program.

I thought you can just embed images and other media [1]. They have to be stored in the attachments folder [2].
