Finally seriously looking at #Obsidian Sync.

Where should I store my vault on my #Mac? I feel so lost! For years × ∞ I've put everything in Dropbox or iCloud, but that, I hear, is a recipe for sync troubles.

Why is my Documents folder greyed out? Where am I? *Who* am I ?? Help me, obi-@obsidianmd, you're my only hope!

@ellane @obsidianmd anywhere but Dropbox or other sync platforms

Just curious - why do you say that?

@kill_dash_nine you can’t safely embed one sync service inside another. You will eventually get conflicting changes.

Ah, you mean using Obsidian Sync and putting the synced folder in another sync service. That makes sense. I was only thinking of why syncing a non-Obsidian Synced folder in another shared folder tool.
