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.
Google Drive, One Drive, iCloud, and SyncThing are all options that work pretty well.
I use Syncthing on Mac laptops, Android phones, and Linux servers for the same Obsidian vault.
@drdabbles Thanks for the explanation. I
I’m saying goodbye to the idea of entrusting my data to the cloud. As I only have a laptop, I don’t see any benefit in storing data in the cloud. So if my MD data that I create in Obsidian is the only data that should be synchronized to have it on my phone, these solutions that I no longer trust would be inappropriate.
I would trust the sync solution from Obsidian - but as I said, the price is not reasonable for the amount of data I need (max 200mb).
If you use Cryptomator (free and open source), you can transparently encrypt all your data before it arrives in the cloud.

Then syncthing is probably what you want. It’s not a cloud solution, it directly syncs content between devices you connect. And it’s free.
Good luck, no matter the solution you land on!
