I use git to backup my notes, and I push them to my remote repository on Github. I do not use obsidian sync or a cloud service for my vault, so I do not know if files backed up to two cloud services (drive and obsidiansync) will overwrite your handwritten notes. NOTE Just be careful if you are using obsidian sync or if you are backing up your vault to a cloud service. You can type 
I do this with the location of my Notability folder in the following figure: , where \path/to/googledrive/notability/`` will be your path to your notability folder.

You do this with the following command: ln -s path/to/googledrive/notability/. Now, use the symlink command to create a link to your notability folder to your obsidian folder.

You have to leave your Notability note in order for it to sync to Goole Drive. To edit your drawing, simply go to your note in Notability and make edits. In the previous figure I added a period after the link so that it would transclude. NOTE: For some reason the file is not transcluded unless I add a character after the link.

The plugin 'Ozan's Image in Editor Plugin' allows you to transclude a preview of your PDF note into your markdown notes on Obsidian. This example will use Notability, Google drive, and the obsidian plugin 'Ozan's Image in Editor Plugin'.

I am writing this post to share the solution I used during undergrad. However, the only problem was linking my hand written notes. During undergrad, I used Notability for my handwritten notes, and I used obsidian as a landing page to organize my syllabus, assignments, textbooks (as PDFs), and all other class materials. I noticed there are many students looking for a way to incorporate their handwritten notes into Obsidian.
