This was very helpful! However, I just thought I'd mention Android and Windows have multiple free sync options such as Onesync, Syncthing, and Drivesync. Hope this helps someone :D
Thanks for showing how to sync with iCloud and the pros and cons of doing it. I have been considering using Obsidian on my Ipads for note-taking while I'm away from my home desktop. Hopefully this will work well!
Hi Darin, great video with awesome visuals and explanation of how Obsidian works, thank you for putting the time in making this video. Question for you, is there any way I can use the Apple Notes app on my iphone but have that sync with Obsidian somehow? Or is my only option to use the Obsidian ios app once I make the switch to Obsidian?
Thanks so much for your feedback Shant🙏🏻 To your question, the simplest and realistic way to take notes on the iphone and have them synced with Obsidian is to use the Obsidian iOS app. There must be a way to sync apple notes with Obsidian (like using Zapier or iOS shortcuts) but i think those approaches are too complicated 😆
Hi Darin, I enjoyed your video on Obsidian related content. Can I check if you have any experience with notes missing when using iCloud sync? I am having trouble recovering some notes I clearly remember I have
I do! iCloud sync is not perfect and do have some glitches. If you lost notes, what you can do is going to your icloud on the browser and try to find a button called “restore files” (something along that line) … You might also want to back up your notes regularly as well.
Thanks for this very useful video comparing the two approaches. How does one create and sync multiple remote Vaults using Obsidian sync? Still trying too figure that out
Hi Darin, I have a vault in my iphone which is NOT synced thru icloud with another apple device . What is the procedure if later on I would like to sync it thru Obsidian sync? Thanks for your easy to follow vids.
Thanks RQ! You just need to 1. purchase obsidian sync 2. Turn on Obsidian Sync on iphone and create a remote vault (this is very similar to what i demo in the video but instead of doing on mac you do on your phone)
Thank you Darin for this Video. My brother showed me Obsidian since I was searching for a good note taking app and I was not happy with apps like (Evernote,Notion,Craft or Apple Notes) . I wanted to sync all my files using my Synlogy NAS but I didnt found an easy way to do it so far. Since I work in the Apple Ecosystem I was unsure if I use the option of iCloud to sync my files. After watching your Video I decided to give Obsidian sync a try since I really dont like it at all if syncing takes some time and you cant really decide what files to sync. Keep up doing your Videos! 😊
Thank you for this guide. I just bought Obsidian Sync and let me tell you the wiki guide was lacking, it could benefit with more visuals. EDIT: After checking out your channel, I decide to subscribe. I like your content.
Good question! If you now use Obsidian Sync, you should sync your remote vault with the local vault on your local device (mac or iphone), instead of using the icloud folder.
Hi Darin, thanks for the video. I am new to Obsidian. The vault + folders I created on my Macbook are not syncing to my iPhone. I have saved the Obsidian folder on iCloud. Can you tell me what to do? Thanks.
@@dsuthapong Sawatdeeka Darin, thanks for the answer. I really appreciate it. In the end, I removed and canceled the app from my iphone and my Macbook and downloaded it again. Now they are syncing so, all is well. I noticed you're in Thailand. I'm moving there (nakhon pathom) in 2 weeks. I'm a vegan. What happened to your vegan food app, Indy Dish? Sounded like a good idea. Take care and stay cool.
Hey Darren, I appreciate your efforts in these videos, but this is the third video I’ve watched of yours where your examples don’t match up visually with what is on the iPhone, or on the Mac. For a brand new setup beginning. You go through the videos pretty quickly because you know this stuff, but not much is matching up so it’s hard to follow. I successfully created a vault folder on iCloud Drive from the Mac desktop but when I open Obsidian on the iPhone it does not readily find this folder like it does in your example. I believe your example has already been set up and you’re just showing us what it looks like after you set this up and not how to set this up. It would be a little more helpful if you went through the beginning, set up, step-by-step, so someone could follow along at that pace, rather than seeing something that has already been set up as a show and tell, and then you move on. But thanks for your efforts. You’re a good presenter.
Hi John! Thank you so much for your very clear and constructive feedback 🙏🏻 I really appreciate the detail you gave regarding your struggle to follow the instructions in my video. I need to work more on making these videos matching exactly what really is happening in real life. This is such a valuable feedback. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I also have this issue. I created vault in iCloud in my Mac. But when I installed and loaded the obsidian iPhone app (v1.4.3) I only have option to set up obsidian sync, or create a new vault. There is no option to connect to my existing iCloud vault. Anyone else having this issue? Or know fix? Thank you.
Thank you! Hmm iCloud sync should work on Macbook 🤔… are you syncing with an iphone?

Thanks so much! This is really helpful 😍 Let me pin your comment so others can know about the Android options :)
Hi Darin, thank your for claryfing the for and cons about the Icloud sync. I have started with it, and I stay attentive about the duplicate's notes.
Glad it was helpful! I switched to Obsidian sync and never go back 😎

Great video, I comment on every video that's concise and helpful. This is what a video should be
Thank you so much Gary ❤️ Glad that this is helpful
Thank you for simple expression
Thank you! :)
Thank you, I found this extremely useful.
Thank you for the feedback! I’m glad this is helpful 😁
Thank you!
Thank you for making this! Obsidian's documentation wasn't super clear to me on how to setup a remote vault, but your video was!
Thank you so much! Glad this is helpful 😍

You’re welcome!
Very helpful! Thanks
Thank you 😊
Thanks a lot, Darin!
My pleasure!
Great. Thank you
Welcome 😊
Could you make a video about things 3 and how it helped you to achieve your goals?
Sure can!
Nice tutorial, was looking for a good Evernote substitute
Thank you! Glad this is helpful :)
Great video. A newbie question please. Where do you login in Obsidian note?? I suppose we need to login to use the sync, right?
Thanks! You can log-in via Settings>About>Account

You can simply create multiple remote vaults and sync them to many folders :)
That was very helpful!
Thank you for the feedback!

Obsidian sync works with Windows laptop and an apple iPad or IPhone?
Yes! It works on all platforms 😊
Hi. I have now subscribed to obsidian sync. How do I stop iCloud sync so I avoid clashing of the two?
Good question! If you now use Obsidian Sync, you should sync your remote vault with the local vault on your local device (mac or iphone), instead of using the icloud folder.
Can you use obsidian sync on a Microsoft Surface Pro?
I’ve never tried myself, but i believe so. You can pretty much use Obsidian Sync everywhere you can download obsidian app.
Hi Darin, thanks for the video. I am new to Obsidian. The vault + folders I created on my Macbook are not syncing to my iPhone. I have saved the Obsidian folder on iCloud. Can you tell me what to do? Thanks.
Hi Kay, hmmm it sounds to me like an icloud problem rather than obsidian problem. Can you see that icloud folder on the iphone in the “Files” app?

Thanks for making this video. I need some extra help in syncing images across iCloud. I pasted image on MacBook but image is not found on my iPhone
Hi Gordon. This may be an issue with the location of the attachment folder. You might need to check that attachment folder is in icloud too.

Is it really that fast? 😳😳
Yup… that fast (depending on internet speed of course)
Thanks! I’m still deciding what’s best for me 🫣 idk why in my MacBook the iCloud Sync doesnt work, only the obsidian
Thank you!
