Looking to try obsidian, but the sync seems expensive. Do you pay for sync, or are there other alternatives? (lemmy.world)

I have iOS, and use MacBook/Linux.

EDIT: Wow! It’s impressive how many different ways there are to achieve this. I tried obsidian git, but couldn’t get it to work as expected. Remotely Save is working perfect! Obsidian flew under my radar all these days because I thought sync was the only way. I’m looking into plugins and there’s literally a thousand plugins. It’s kinda overwhelming tbh. I’ll make another post for plug-in recommendations and workflow setup advice. Thank you all!

@nieceandtows I’m in the Apple ecosystem so I’ve been using iCloud for the same reason of the cost. My vault is relatively small and simple though. I’m assuming that once it starts to get larger and more complex I’m going to have to buck up for Sync.

@clearnew @nieceandtows @obsidianmd In addition to sync, Obsidian sync provides file version history including ability to see what changed.

@dgreenbhm @nieceandtows @obsidianmd I did not know that. Versioning would have come in handy for me today as my hotdog thumbs deleted some characters from a link in a document today on my phone. Luckily, it was a highlight from Readwise so I deleted the document and reimported. So there’s an example of why the cost of #obsidian_sync is worth it.
