Things I have tried
So the iCloud Drive /Obsidian folder exists (and the vault I want to sync has path /Users/alison/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~md~obsidian/Documents/Zettelkasten iMac )
I can open and sync the vault (which is a tiny test vault) on my phone and iPad so it’s fine, and I can view files using a see-all-the-files viewer (Forklift) on my iMac (they don’t show up with ‘show hidden files’ though).
Obsidian folder is visible in iCloud in settings (only on Manage iCloud, not in the list of apps using iCloud) and can be shown in finder but Obsidian doesn’t appear to be able to open it at all.
Pasting the path into the open vault dialog (using cmd-shift-g) does not work.
I have searched like mad on both Obsidian helpfiles, forum and discord , and on Google for the general problem of iCloud files not showing up.
What I’m trying to do
I need iCloud sync. I am not interested in Obsidian sync or third party sync. Obsidian could be the best program in the world but without iCloud sync between my iMac and iPad it is of no use to me.
I want a backlinked markdown note storage app that works fast and seamlessly across iMac and iPad. It does not have to be Obsidian!
