A box pops open on the top right, telling me Obsidian is indexing my vault (screenshot), thing is, this has been happening for days! When I try to access a page it simply says 'No file' most of the time.
Sometimes I’ve been able to actually open a page and write in it, but then letters disappeared and another box popped open in the top right (something about merging files(?) , sadly no screenshot atm).
There are also 10 untitled pages that I didn’t create that I can’t delete (I can click delete, but nothing happens).
Windows also keeps ‘Downloading Obsidian from iCloud’

Upon opening Obsidian I get the indexing vault popup as per the screenshot above.
When I’m typing in a new note, at random intervals part of the sentence will be deleted. When I go into the folder on my desktop where the md files are stored, I will find several duplications of the file with blue arrows as the status. If I delete these blue arrow files, it may stop the issue for a short while but only until there is a new file created then it starts all over again.
you could switch to the Obsidian sync (paid option)
some users report success using the PC iCloud version for windows 7, 8
personally I’m still doing manual cleanups of the extra …(1).md or …2.md files including those in the hidden .obsidian folder. Sometimes I have to kill the iCloud task and restart iCloud, sometimes I have to delete a file from iCloud.com so I can rename a …2.md back. It’s a bit of a hassle but with the file recovery option and backing up my files to dropbox I haven’t lost any data
