Enhancement: Import/export from ChatGPT + backup (and restore) all conversations for LibreChat

[darkBuddha]

What features would you like to see added?

I guess most people that start to use LibreChat used ChatGPT before. A fair amount of them will switch fully to LibreChat and not use ChatGPT again.

As ChatGPT allows to export all chats into a nice JSON, maybe it would be a cool feature to be able to import these timestamped JSON messages into LibreChat, to not lose the history?

Also, the ChatGPT chats are not private and used for training. So there is an incentive to delete the Chats from ChatGPT.

More details

I think this would decrease the friction of leaving ChatGPT for LibreChat and thus increase users.

Bless you 🙏🏻

Thank you so much. 🙏🏻

Are you also working on adding an option to export all conversations from LibreChat?

Currently I use LibreChat on a work machine but I eventually want to export all conversations to personal device.

[darkBuddha]

being able to open single conversations and share them by link would also be nice... no exports needed then.

[aswny]

@darkBuddha single conversations can still be shared, right? In JSON/Text formats at least. I'm looking for a bulk export to transfer all chats from one machine to another.

[darkBuddha]

this is too much work, it would be easier/better to be able to share a link to a conversation (like in ChatGPT)

HI @danny-avila, I just tested it, it works!! 15 MB ChatGPT export from a few months ago, first try. Amazing, thank you! Meilisearch also very fast, good choice!👏🏻

@danny-avila on first try, nothing happened, so i tried again with console open. then it worked and i saw the "conversation import successful". now i saw, that the messages were imported twice. do you have an idea, how i can get rid of this, e.g. in mongo express?

So it had started already the first time, that’s why it got imported twice. Maybe an info toast saying it was importing could’ve helped prevent this

It would be a bit difficult to “undo” but will keep that in mind as an improvement
