I did sync my existing vault to my Android phone with the nextcloud Android client (which I use for all kinds of other things, too). However, when trying to access the vault, Obsidian complains that “File does not exist”, but without saying which file exactly.
I wonder if the path has gotten too long? Or does the app not have access rights to this particular directory?
Any ideas on how to remedy the situation would be appreciated!
Info:
I use Android.
I sync my vault to my phone through git (with a custom script).
The vault location is also somewhere in /storage/emulated/0/.
Currently I use Markor as editor, which has no problem opening the folder and files.
I use Android and I have faced with the same error.
I’ve also made a new vault in my Syncthing folder via the Android app. The vault was created. As synchronization happened, I opened it on my laptop. Then I copied all my notes from the old vault to this new vault. As synchronization happened again, I saw my notes in the new vault via the Android app.
But then I restarted the Android app and faced with the same error again.
Since other apps that I am using, like text editors or music players, can write to this directory, am I right to assume the Obsidian mobile app could be changed to do the same? If that’s the case I’d submit a feature request.
We know that we have some issue with recognizing certain paths. If that is the case, it will get fixed. If the issue is that Obsdian can’t get direct write access to that folder (not some limited access mediated by Android API) it can’t get fixed.
