Longtime joplin user here - been using s3 sync storage since it was available. As long as it is open and free, that will be my note app of choice. Yeah the mobile app definitely needs work, and there's always room for improvement overall. But it is free as in "free beer", as well as "free speech". Both are hard requirements for me, at least for my notes (and data, in general). I have years of notes in joplin, spread across dozens of notebooks and several profiles. I'm impressed. There are a zillion competitors out there, some with extremely beautiful interfaces - but it MUST be open for me to even look at it.

How is the sync now? Does it only sync every 5 minutes, with the user requiring to manually press "sync" for every change? Or does it sync on changes automatically? I'm asking because I used it in the past and the sync limitation often caused conflicts for my mobile and desktop clients

  I use Joplin extensively on multiple devices and I find that the only way to completely avoid sync conflicts is to make sure you hit sync after entering data on one device, and then hit sync on the other device before using it.

    Interesting, thanks for confirming.. not sure yet if I want to jump back to Joplin yet.

      Joplin and nextcloud/WebDAV was horrible. Horrible. I can’t go back, trilium is way more extendable

        Any alternatives to Trillium you can recommend?

    FWIW, with OneDrive sync, I haven't noticed that problem. I use Joplin quite a bit from both desktop and mobile, but have been living without the browser extensions in an experiment since the beginning of this year.

s3 sync is still broken for me. haven't had time to open a pr to fix it.

  Do you have an open issue for it? Curious as to what the fix is. (I jankily re-wrote the sync when it broke a while back so curious what's not working.)
