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?
If you use a shared folder on a cloud provider such as iCloud, or if you don't have an iPhone or iPad, Dropbox, OneNote, etc., you share the folder via this service. All file management, such as when to sync or whether the actual file is on your hard drive or just a link to the file in the cloud, is handled by the cloud software you have installed on your Mac or PC. Using a service like Obsidian Sync or the remote-save plugin, you sync your vault. When you start Obsidian, it downloads all new files and chances from the cloud service and makes a local copy. So you can use remotely-save to encrypt your data in the cloud, for example, but on the local machine it's a normal file structure. Since iCloud share doesn't work for me (problems with lost files, and a Linux machine as the only working machine. I switched to remote sync and it works fine most of the time.
