Try Remotely Save plug-in.
https://github.com/remotely-save/remotely-save
It syncs with Dropbox, Onedrive, S3 and WebDav. It has lots of settings like folders you can ignore, filetypes, etc. A number of experimental fearures that have worked when I tried them. You can set it to manually or automatically sync.
I’ve used it for my main vault using a self-hosted WebDav for over a year and been pleased with its performance. I make sure I keep a regular backup of the vault as well just in case.
I would imagine you could use the Excalidraw plugin as well for making handwritten notes and diagrams, too.
@M3chTech @tenebrisnox I do not get the point. Obsidian already does this when you start your vaults on a cloud drive … what is the difference? what does this plugin do better?
I had trouble for a period with my vaults syncing on icloud. It was really frustrating so I looked at other sync methods. (I think it was actually the amount of plugins I was using.) icloud did start working again with my smaller vaults. Now I keep my main vault synced by WebDav on my NAS with a daily backup by the NAS & my little vaults on icloud. Has been working really well.
Didn’t the OP say they wanted to sync across two different devices (and I assumed they couldn’t simply sunc using a shared storage.)
@tenebrisnox thx for the answer 🙂 … first I also had trouble (icloud) because one has to start creating the vaults at mobiles and then open them in the desktop app … never run into issues till now … cross fingers 🙈
