I think any app which can sync in the background can automatically sync things? Dropbox, Moebius, PCloud, Google Drive?

My Office vault lives in a separate cloud service, and it works?

My understanding is that on iOS your only non-paid choice is iCloud, and iCloud doesn’t reliably sync to non-Apple systems. To clarify, the use case here is that you have an iPhone but also non-Apple systems, which is a fairly common scenario.

  • TBH that sounds like a better reason to get something other than Apple systems instead of changing all your apps to work around Apples bizarre limitations.

    • To clarify, by “on iOS your only non-paid choice is iCloud” I meant for the Obsidian app specifically. Other apps do provide the option to sync with non-Apple cloud storage, without payment.

      There are multitudes of pros and cons regarding choosing an iPhone. The restrictions of the Obsidian app is only a single one of those. Choosing an Android phone has drawbacks of its own.

  • iCloud is not the only alternative to Obsidian Sync on iOS. There are also several Obsidian plugins that allow you to sync to a variety of services.
