You can sync an Obsidian vault with whatever you wish, the online option is mostly convenience.

On desktop yes, but on iOS at least, i can choose between iCloud, local or Obsidian Sync.

Simply "plugging in" to an iOS File Provider interface would be a better experience from a user perspective, but i realize it would sell fewer Sync licenses, which appears to be the business model after they removed the requirement for purchasing a license for commercial use.

iCloud and local are less problematic, but Obsidian Sync introduces a governance / compliance hell i'm not prepared to face, and OneDrive / SharePoint is the preferred, pre approved, company file syncing platform. Getting Obsidian Sync approved requires GDPR audits and other niceties from ISAE 3000.
