Have my notes synced in the Apple iCloud sandbox. Two computers and an iPhone
Things I have tried
I created a Vault and anything in it gets synced. But when I create a new note it is outside the Vault and doesn’t get synced. I’m not going to remember to move it into the Vault.
I read the guidelines and some posts on the subject of Vaults and decided to keep try to keep it simple and avoid Vaults, but here’s what I ended up with. Showing a path to a note: /Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~md~obsidian/Documents/Obsidian Vault-Main/Obsidian notes/Implementation of Obsidian.md. I seem to have some setting wrong:
Can’t see how to edit my original post. The notes sync between my two computers and I see them outside the Vault which would be fine except I don’t see those notes on my iPhone. I only see Notes in the Vault. The notes outside of the Vault are on my phone as I can see them via the Files app.
Maybe I should have titled my post “How to set up the simplest syncing on iCloud.” My not understanding how Obsidian and its Vaults work.
For this (the warning in the screenshot), disable Settings > Core plugins > Sync as you aren’t using Obsidian Sync. The Sync core plugin won’t be listed Core plugins list and you won’t see that screen anymore.
How far did you get with the steps here?
Maybe a screenshot or two of vault structure in iCloud Drive from the Finder could help here (try to remove any personal information from the pic).
Also, what’s the vault name? In the lower-left sidebar in Obsidian on macOS.
The Test of new file.md` is to test where it shows up. That is the default for Cmd-N and any files outside the Vault aren't seen in iOS. At least I don't know how to do it.
I relaunched Obsidian and changed settings on both computers.
