I've used Obsidian for a couple of years, mostly for private to-do things
I used iCloud to sync between phone and laptop.
It worked great until recently.
Now I experience extreme jankiness: App sometimes takes forever to load, files missing, or suddenly disappearing as I open them. The problem, as far as I can read, is iCloud aggressively removing files locally when they're not used. I haven't tried Obsidian Sync yet.
- Brajeshwar 2y agoTry with Dropbox (if you are using it) and set that folder (Vault) to sync offline. I use iCloud mostly to sync the computer settings, share amongst family members, but not for something which I need access locally such as the Obsidian/Markdown files. It works so far. I have over 5 or more Vaults (folders) managed by Obsidian via Dropbox.
- accra4rx 2y agoThe plugin "Remote Sync" works well too . It supports S3 , Drop box and many other cloud targets
- theshrike79 2y agoiOS18 will bring "keep this always local" option for iCloud files
- dSebastien 2y agoThere's a setting to debug the starting time. It's interesting to find out the culprit (often a specific plugin)
- compacct27 2y agoObsidian Sync is great, was worried you were describing it for a sec there
- jonnybgood 2y agoIf you are on a Mac, you have to disable in sys prefs iCloud “Optimize Mac Storage”. Your files should no longer be removed.
