Hey everyone,
I saw that some people had problem with setting up the Obsidian with iCloud because the app freezes a lot on iPhone/iPad when initially loading.
This is my recommendation how to avoid using iCloud and have everything still in sync.
- Set up Obsidian with Git extension and make sure you can pull and push to Github. Make sure that the Obsidian folder is outside of iCloud on your Mac.
- Compress your vault folder and Airdrop it to your iPhone/iPad.
- Install Obsidian and create new vault temporarily WITHOUT iCloud option. We need this step for Obsidian to create its folder in On My iPhone directory instead of iCloud.
- Move the compressed vault to Files/On My iPhone/Obsidian and decompress it.
- Delete the temporary vault.
- Open Obsidian and choose the correct vault.
All done, you will be able to use Obsidian without any slow downs with Github integration and without iCloud. Enjoy!
