iOS assistance: Natively syncing Handwritten Notes

Hello, I’m a relatively new Obsidian user, and a college student who wants to use it to organize his notes for easier perusal. The big issue is iOS/iPadOS. I use an app called noteful, cause it doesn’t have a lot of bloat. Handwriting notes is somewhat faster and makes it easier to memorize, and retranscribing them to markdown by hand would be extremely time consuming. The issue is that Noteful only auto backs up to a google drive folder that it creates, so the Google Drive Sync plugin doesn’t work, as you can’t choose the folder it attaches to.

The iOS sandboxing means I can’t auto backup my saves locally, and while I do have access to a laptop, in order to use it as a vault that I can Obsidian Sync with, the laptop needs to always be on in order for it to function properly, which I can’t do because of privacy/security concerns.

While digging around, I saw a Dropbox workflow that apparently works on iOS, so I’m wondering if there’s anyway to potentially implement something similar for some level of auto-sync between Noteful, Google Drive, and Obsidian, without having to use another device as a bridge. (It only needs to be one way, if that helps.) Any help would be appreciated!

Yeah, it’s a real pain. Ik there’s a definite workflow for dropbox, but I’m hoping there’s a similar one that could do the job for Google drive. My worry is that if it’s copying the files rather than pulling straight from the folder, it’ll create tons of copies instead of overwriting the old ones.

Honestly I’ve been debating buying a Raspberry Pi to act as a dedicated bridge device, but it feels like I’m running into the Sunk Cost Fallacy at this point.
