+1 for WebDAV from me

1 Like

I too want a WebDAV sync option that will allow me to sync an Obsidian vault held on one machine to other machines and to mobile devices. I can’t post in the Mobile section but as an example of a system that works is how DEVONThink handles their sync using WebDAV. The DT databases and files are on a local machine. There is a Sync store created on the WebDAV server that other devices can point to and update. You can select which of the various DT databases you want to go on which devices, convenient for putting only some on a mobile device and perhaps all on say a desktop and a laptop.

I’d love an equivalent option for Obsidian and Obsidian Mobile.

PS another application that allows for WebDAV sync is Omnifocus. Same basic thing you set up a link to the server and your data are available there for other devices to access.

I think this is important. What makes Joplin so appealing is that I can encrypt my notes to my pcloud with webdav. Having this option on both mobile and desktop is essential.

One of the big goals of obsidian is that your notes stay your own.
I truly wish that my requirements for syncing my (mobile) devices not compromise this goal.
I was disappointed to see that the app requires a cloud and is not able to sync directly or with my internal setup (webdav)

WebDAV and/or direct sync are an abolutly must for future product strategy +1

+1 for WebDAV support - although I pay for sync I can’t use it on every vault due to security reasons.

++++ 1 WebDav support for iPhone app !

It is unlikely that we implement first party support for WebDav or any other third party sync service. I am going to move this to Plugin Ideas.

My advise is to find a third-party program both on desktop and mobile (Android) that actually handles the mirroring/sync of files from/to a WebDAV server to your disk. The files have to be physically present on your drive for Obsidian to work (not fake files that need to be downloaded on demand once you access them).

PS: this what software like nextcloud/ownCloud do.

I am wondering if we could do webdav sync with plugins? I don’t know whether obsidian api allows developers have enough permission to integrate such function.
