Migrate From iCloud To Obsidian Sync

Basement

I would:

On macOS:

  1. Quit Obsidian
  2. make backups
  3. drag (or copy) your vault folder out of iCloud Drive and put it somewhere that isn’t already being synced
  4. Open Obsidian
  5. Open the Vault Picker
  6. Open the old vault in its new location
  7. enable the sync plugin
  8. go to Settings → Sync
  9. Enter your credentials/set up sync, and enable the sync features you’d like to use.

On iOS devices:

  1. Open Obsidian
  2. Open the vault picker
  3. Create a new empty vault with the same name of your moved vault
  4. Enable the sync plugin, log in, and choose the synced vault
