When syncing via Obsidian sync, there appears to be a fixed (arbitrary?) order in which files are handled. This is unpractical, as updates of the notes currently open are much more important than updates of other files. Thus, I suggest the following order of synchronization:
- the currently open note
- all notes in open tabs
- all other notes
- non-markdown files
All of this is particularly relevant if one opens the smartphone app after some time and lots of changes have been made in the meantime.
