It allows you to sync to Google Drive with iOS, Windows, and Mac support (Android and Linux were not tested but they should also work) for free!
Features:
Syncing both ways (from Obsidian to Google Drive and back)
Cross-device support
Obsidian iOS app support
Local file prioritization (automatically resolves conflicts)
Multiple vaults per Google account
Configuration syncing (this includes plugins)
I created this because I wanted to sync my vaults using Google Drive, as it’s very cheap and has pretty good APIs, and using a traditional Google Drive sync with their desktop app wouldn’t work for iOS. There are two other plugins that allow for Google Drive syncing that I am aware of (Remotely Sync and an unsubmitted plugin by Stravo1). Remotely save is paid, and Stravo1’s implementation apparently has potential for data loss, so I decided to try my own hand at making one! I tried to make my documentation and instructions pretty thorough, and the setup process is pretty streamlined.
Ngl, I really don’t want to use this as I want to support the devs. However the restriction to 10 vaults and 10GB is really limiting, and it also appears to be 1GB per vault unless that’s changed. Since I already have a Drive account, this plugin would serve an incredibly useful and much needed service, but I am so pissed off that their pricing tiers suck as I want to support ongoing independent development.
To be clear, I am not fussed about $4-8/month. While relatively expensive for that type of service I understand that they aren’t VC subsidised, I can justify that cost. What I am annoyed with is the Vault limitation primarily as I use Vaults to separate concerns (projects, etc), and 10 just doesn’t cut it. I don’t want a limit at all. The 10GB could be worked around or buy 100GB, but why spend more on cloud storage when I already spend money on massive amounts of cloud storage elsewhere?
The devs really need to consider offering better pricing. And offer an official cloud sync plugin like this.
Yeah, I’d like to support the devs too because the product’s ungodly good and free, so I might end up buying a sync subscription when I actually have funds. I’m using obsidian to store everything, though, with pretty big images and assets sometimes, and I just can’t deal with the 100GB limitation with a $192 yearly price tag.
