Things I have tried

I am attempting to sync a large Obsidian directory.

  • It’s 1.8gb without PDFs and unsupported file types. I understand there is a 4bg limit to remote vaults over Sync.
  • The settings to sync PDFs and unsupported file types are turned off in the Sync settings panel
  • The vault on my desktop and my iPad are correctly connected to the remote vault
  • The vaults are both named identically

What I’m trying to do

This is the pattern that appears in the Sync log:
2021-09-04 16:41 - Waiting to connect to server
2021-09-04 16:42 - Connecting to server
2021-09-04 16:42 - Disconnected. Code: 1000 Normal Closure

are you behind a firewall?

No, I’m at home on my wifi network.

#4

we had ISP blocking connections to github or DigitalOcean without user knowing. Do both your devices show the same stuff in the log? Can you try on a different network?

#5

Hmm, maybe I can hop on my cell phone as a hotspot. The thing is both my desktop and iPad are on the same wifi network. I’m assuming both devices use the same protocol and connection. Anyway, I’ll try that out.

#6

I tried the hotspot and got the same result. Just to rule it out, I restarted my desktop and tried again and I still get the same error.

I realized, also, I failed to mention that I have a couple of other, much smaller vaults that are syncing correctly. It would be useful to know exactly what that error means, but I suspect it has something to do with vault size and I’m overlooking something.

#7

I’ve done some further testing. I cloned the vault and started deleting directories. It started working when I deleted .obsidian.

I then cloned the entire vault again and turned safe mode on and the sync worked.

I turned off all plugins and the sync worked so I made my way through all the plugins, one by one. I turned them all back on at the end and the sync is working. Not sure what happened. Maybe the remains of an old plugin I had removed?
