Holy cow. The quality of your videos in terms of editing and clear, concise presentation of info is easily that of channels with hundreds of thousands if not millions of subscribers. You exactly solved my obsidian sync for free problem. Thank you! Keep it up! Liked and Subscribed.

Your videos are always very informative and high quality. The way you deliver information is really concise and easy to follow. I can't wait to see your channel grow and get more recognition!

Thank you so much man!! It worked like a charm. Anyone else trying out google drive option, you need to first download drive for desktop, and then choose the obsidian vault folder and sync it to the google drive :)

I swear I though I was watching a youtuber with at least 500k subs, keep up the good work man, don't try to go over the bar, just keep a consistent look and template your videos with the level of commitment you are doing right now, I am pretty sure u will blow up sooner or later.

Just the video that I was looking for! You deserve many more subscribers, and I hope that you do get them soon.

I wanted to express my appreciation for your detailed guide on syncing Obsidian to various devices using Synchthing. Your instructions were clear and concise, and I followed them diligently. However, I encountered a small hiccup that I believe might be common among users.

After following your steps, I found myself unable to accept the notification to sync in time before it disappeared. This led to the file not syncing and appearing on my mobile devices. After some lengthy figuring, I discovered a solution that I think would greatly benefit your viewers.

It seems that tapping on the web GUI button located on the left side of the app allows users to access the sync options, where they can accept the sync request if they miss the notification. Including this aspect in a revised version of your video could help others who encounter similar issues.

Thank you once again for your informative content, and I hope this suggestion proves helpful for your audience.

Fantastic video. I tried to do this before and was confused/impatient/nervous about sharing data. This clarified and simplified the process. Thanks a ton!

Forget about the content you presented and I watched, your quality of content presentation and the way you were trying articulate the information was very good. Wonderful job dude! There is something to learn from you in terms communication. Glad I saw your video.

[dkursada]

Thank you very, very much. Syncthing is quite the solution for me, and it can also sync other folders, so I also started to sync the configuration files of some apps I use as well. Obsidian is much more useful when I can use it accross all of my devices, too. Definitely a quality of life improvement all around.
