I also add my voice to everyone here. Syncing dictionaries across devices would be very helpful.
I was just about to make this same feature request lol
Just lost hundreds of saved words after loosing my device, I really hope they add this feature at some point.
Use case or problem
I use Obsidian across multiple devices and have tons of custom words on my “Custom Dictionary”. However this is not synced via Obsidian Sync, so all words must be manually re-added when noticed on each device.
Proposed solution
Synchronize “Custom Dictionary.txt” with Sync account so that it is shared among all devices
Current workaround (optional)
“Custom Dictionary.txt” can be manually synchronized with Git or other cloud solutions, but this is cumbersome

4 years later, this is still a highly wanted feature…
I notice this nearly every day +1
For anyone who might be interested, I made a plugin to solve this by managing the obsidian spellcheck dictionary through the .obsidian folder (which lets you sync it easily, eg automatically through Obsidian Sync).
Note that it only really works on desktop devices as the obsidian native spellcheck relies on electron APIs that don’t exist on mobile. Been using the plugin myself for a while without issues, but if you have a large dictionary might want to back it up just in case…
Anyway here’s the link: Syncable Dictionary - Obsidian Plugin
I have a similar problem. Unfortunately, the Masoniis plugin doesn’t do exactly that; I think it must be a core function.
Im adding my voice. There is no reason to not sync the dictionary, its just a list. Like many peoples I use it on multiple devices.
(Its the same for the snapshots, we should be able to keep it local outside the vault and/or sync them inside it)
