I have iOS, and use MacBook/Linux.
EDIT: Wow! It’s impressive how many different ways there are to achieve this. I tried obsidian git, but couldn’t get it to work as expected. Remotely Save is working perfect! Obsidian flew under my radar all these days because I thought sync was the only way. I’m looking into plugins and there’s literally a thousand plugins. It’s kinda overwhelming tbh. I’ll make another post for plug-in recommendations and workflow setup advice. Thank you all!
If you don’t want to pay then just use syncthing. It’s free and cross platform.
@kionite231 @nieceandtows I’m in the Apple ecosystem so I’ve been using iCloud for the same reason of the cost. My vault is relatively small and simple though. I’m assuming that once it starts to get larger and more complex I’m going to have to buck up for Sync.
If you only use iOS and a Mac then iCloud will work fine. It’s only a problem on Windows where the iCloud implementation is buggy.
I am all Apple so I use iCloud. Works like a charm. No issues at all
Wanted to add to this, this method still works like a charm even with a windows pc. Haven’t had any issues with syncing across my iPhone, mac, and windows pc since I started doing this.
Do you do much editing on your Windows machine? I tried using iCloud sync but found that the documents would randomly undo a sentence or two as I typed. Also had problems with Windows sometimes not uploading whole files.
I purchased sync. I agree it is a little on the expensive side.
The one thing you can do is just use git and turn on the push and pull. It seems to be very reliable this way. Though you won’t be able to use it on the phone as far as I have been able to figure out.
I pay for sync but also use git. I hate how obsidian works in mobile so I just use GitHub.com’s web interface to take notes on mobile and push to obsidian on save. Obsidian sync then syncs all my devices
For varying definitions of “works”. It’s incredibly frustrating if you’re using it across multiple devices. Any time I let the repo get more than a couple days behind, I wind up with nasty merge conflicts and it doesn’t handle those. At all. It just sort of breaks.
So caveat emptor.
You can use “Remotely Save” community plugin.
