πŸ”How can I sync my vault?

Since your Obsibrain vault is essentially a folder of Markdown files, you have total control over how you sync it. However, because Obsibrain uses complex plugins and internal scripts, we recommend using a sync solution that handles hidden files and configuration settings reliably.

  • Obsidian Sync (Highly Recommended): This is the official service provided by the Obsidian team. It is the most robust and "plug-and-play" option, specifically designed to handle the complex metadata and plugin configurations that power Obsibrain.

  • Apple iCloud (Recommended for Apple Users): A great free option if you are exclusively in the Apple ecosystem (Mac, iPhone, iPad).

  • GitHub Sync: An excellent, free option for technical users who want version control history for every change in their vault.

Critical: Syncing Plugin Settings

If you choose Obsidian Sync, it is vital that you enable all sync options. Obsibrain's "magic" comes from its plugin settings and hidden configuration files. If these aren't synced, your dashboards and commands may not work correctly on secondary devices.

Ensure all "Vault configuration sync" options are toggled ON.

A Note on Other Services (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive)

While these services can work, they sometimes struggle with Obsidian's rapid file-saving nature or conflict with hidden configuration files. If you use them, ensure your vault folder is set to "Available Offline" to prevent indexing delays.
