I’ve been using iCloud sync for a long time, and am using a trick from this forum from back in 2022 so that the .obsidian/workspace.json file wasn’t synced by iCloud and could therefore be different on each machine. This worked by using a symbolic link for the file, pointing to a workspace.nosync.json which apparently iCloud didn’t try to sync. Cool.
I have just migrated to Obsidian Sync, which seems to be quite a lot faster and more reliable… but this trick doesn’t work (I think it’s syncing the nosync file. I’m not sure about the symbolic link, because I had that on both machines. So now my machines inherit the open file list from the last one where Obsidian was closed. This is painful for me as I tend to have quite different files open on the two machines.
I imagine it will turn out to be even more fun when I get to the phone, but maybe not: there’s a separate workspace-mobile.json in there and maybe that’s handled differently.
Is there an equivalent in Obsidian Sync to the nosync trick, or some other alternative route to having just the open file list not sync? I’d prefer to have everything but the open file list sync, but it’s not essential.
I did come across the “Files and links > Override config folder” option. That wouldn’t be ideal (as above, it would mean everything else would be unsynced too) but is that the way this is supposed to be approached under Obsidian Sync?
