I have searched around on Obsidian and Google and can’t seem to find an answer to the question, How to know if Obsidian encryption is working?
What I’m trying to do
I purchased the Sync plugin from Obsidian hoping to have access to the files I created on my iMac from my laptop but I’m not sure encryption is working. What is the best way to test/see that it is?
I created a Remote Vault on Dropbox. I thought I would need my encryption password to access the files in that vault on Dropbox. I was able to open the files using Visual Studio without a password.
Ok, thanks I figured out what I was doing wrong. I removed the Remote vault on Dropbox and created the Remote vault on my desktop. After logging on to Obsidian on my laptop, I created a local vault (this step I was missing), and then I was able to connect to the Remote vault on my desktop. Very slick.
