I am using @obsidianmd local so no synchronization. But if I would decide to enable synchronization hosted by the wonderful people of #obsidianMD, the price is keeping me away. 8$ is not appropriate. Way to much.
I love Obsidian and the people behind, but not their pricing policy.
If you’re on iOS, what’s stopping you from using iCloud for free for sync?
Also, apparently Dropbox is also something you can use, though I have no experience with that.
App prevents you from saving in custom location. It’s iCloud or local unspecified spot. So if you want to sync notes between iOS and windows desktop you need to install iCloud on the desktop
Microsoft One Drive also works
There’s no reason to pay for sync. As your vault is plain-text files you can use dozens of existing sync solutions.
There’s an open-source community sync plugin which aims to provide an equivalent replacement to the paid sync: https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync
I’m happily syncing my vault with Drive, and also paying for the sync as a way to support the Obsidian app development.
