Android sync with encryption? (lemmy.ml)

I'm in the process of changing my note taking from Standard Notes to Obsidian, and I am trying to figure out how I can sync notes between my laptop and Android device with the notes encrypted. I thought I had the solution by encrypting with Cryptomator and syncing the encrypted vault with Syncthing. But I realized that Cryptomator on Android does not work by mounting a new drive like it does on Linux, so Obisidian could not access the unencrypted files. So now I am not sure where to go from here.

My requirements:

  • Notes are synced both ways between laptop and phone
  • Notes are encrypted at rest
  • No usage of external cloud services

How do you go about syncing?

I have been thinking through this exact problem in the past few weeks. Let's write back with what we come up with! I'm going to explore the DroidFS suggestion.
