Obsidian Sync: Self-Hosted Server (on premise)

Topic: Exclude big files from Obsidian Sync.

Great Idea!

And this could be implemented fairly simply.
Just add a Settings option to stop syncing big files.
And / Or to select folders which don’t get synced over Obsidian Sync.

Since Big Files don’t usually change very often, it’s fine to just synchronize them over simple cloud syncing solution (like Nextcloud, Mega, …).

Third-Party Sync Services:

I think there’s no point in directly implementing third party synchronization platforms since there are just too many of them. There’s no benefit in having such a solution within Obsidian itself. It only would make things bloated.

Plugins for open, standardized synchronization protocols might however be a feasible solution. Including WebDav, sFTP, etc.

I posted this comment again because for some weird reason comments cannot be edited after about ten minutes they’re posted. If a forum “master” sees this: Please remove this limit entirely. It is unnessecary unless you don’t trust your users to be “fully grown adults” :grin:
