Hello!

I was wondering when the sync add-on service will be released.
Or at least whether it will be released before December this year.
Additionally, can you provide any insight on how it will work and possible limitations and advantages of it.

Thank you!

It should be released before December, likely in November, but no guarantees.

Sync should work by itself in the background. You can have a few remote vaults, and if you sync to the same remote vault on two devices, your vault will stay synced.

Features include end to end encryption and version history. Not sure what you mean by “limitations”, would appreciate it if you could be a bit more specific. Price could be one limitation, since if you’re up for it you can use third party sync + encryption service to achieve pretty much the same thing.

Thank you for your quick response.
Sorry for being vague regarding “limitations”.
With that I mean, is there for example a certain limit to the devices you can sync it with. And is it this way possbile to work on a vault with multiple people?

Note that there are great sync solutions out there. My favorite as of now is Syncthing. It’s easy to configure, can work on virtually any platform (e.g. I also have it on my Android phone), and stuff like version history works flawlessly.
It works considerably smoother than syncing over GDrive, Dropbox etc (on which I had many problems in the past).

Another excellent & reliable choice is Resilio Sync (formerly btsync). No clouds involved, just private encrypted p2p.

I also use Resilio Sync for Obsidian, but are you perhaps on iOS, too? I find it tiring that I have to open the Sync app every time I make a change from 1Writer.

Hi, I also want to use resilio to sync between my PC & iPhone, could you please tell me how do you use a Resilio synced folder as Obsidian vault ?
