Obsidian Sync disables itself whenever app is closed

I started using sync a few days ago, and this is happening to me both on Mac and Android. I have enabled “active core plugin list” and “core plugin settings” but disabled “active community plugin list” and “installed community plugins”.

I have the same issue. Adding some more details in case it’s helpful.

I have Obsidian on macOS and iPhone.

macOS: Version 1.6.5 (Installer 1.5.3)
iPhone: Current version: 1.6.7 (149)

macOS has no issues, but iPhone loses the Sync connection every time the app is closed (eg swipe it away in the app switcher view, or it is closed automatically by iOS).

This is what happens when I reconnect sync on iphone:

• Navigate to Settings > Sync
• It says “Currently not connected to any remote vault.”
• Click “Choose”. I see my vault in the list. Click “Connect”
• Click “Continue” in the “Confirm Merge Vault” pop up
• Enter my Encryption password and click “Unlock vault”
• It waits a while then I get this error message:
  • 
• Click “Cancel”, and it goes back to the “your remote vaults” page as if the connection failed. But then if I click the x in the top right, the settings for the vault appear and sync seems to work.

You have a different problem. They are complaining that the sync plugin toggles off not simply that disconnects.

Open a separate BR and follow the template. Thanks

Hi everyone. Has there been any fix for this. Just as @John27rg said, I had been using Google Drive to sync my vault (between my home computer, my laptop and my work computer), and switched because I wanted it also on my Boox Onyx Note Air 3, and in my Android Phone without having to jump so many hoops. But I am having the same problem. I close the application, and the following time I open it, the sync plugin is off.

I am including a gif recording.

Hey everybody,

I don’t know exactly what happened, but since yesterday afternoon, the problem seems to be resolved. I use Obsidian in six devices, three linux and three Android, and all but one of the linux computer has been tried (app close, even device rebooted) and they keep being synched. I am certain the other computer will too, when I get around testing it.

Thanks to the Obsidian Team. I have no idea what was wrong, but it seems to be fixed.
