It's not just about syncing files. It's also the fact I can edit stuff on my tablet and see the changes in almost real time on my laptop with Obsidian Sync. I believe most other solutions wouldn't play nice with such a workflow.

With the vault stored on a synchronized cloud drive, Proton/Google/etc the same thing happens.

Then that's a moot point I guess, haha.

Still a great way to pay for Obsidian to support the development though.

Yeah I agree, hopefully it's a rare non-evil entity that just wants to make a revenue off convenience and quality rather than some batshit shareholder nightmare monetization garbage.

I use this as a backup in tandem with the official sync

And the official one works every time, remotely-save just fails randomly and I need to dig through the logs to see what happened this time
