undefined | Better HN

iCloud removes files from local storage randomly and downloading them again is very slow and gets stuck often.

I think that is the main reason why obsidian hangs at the start on the iPhone.

I have not yet figured out, how to keep iCloud files reliably on local storage on iOS. It seems independent of free storage and file size and is driving me mad.

Very sad that Apple does not succeed in syncing files. The same issue was there with iTools, mobile me, and now iCloud.

People using Obsidian Sync said it solves these issues (I guess by using a database rather than directly via file I/Os.)

There are other solutions via plugins too. E.g. Dropbox, Google Drive, or GitHub. There was a post earlier in HN which is a reimplementation of Obsidian Sync, but it seems their reversed engineering uncovered something not secure there and Obsidian soon made a patch breaking that. There might be workarounds to fix it, but I haven't closely follow it.

When I have the time to do the refactoring and cleaning, I will probably choose one of these alternatives (or even an alternative of Obsidian if there are better solutions for me.)

At one moment, WorkingCopy (on iOS) was considered a valid option for syncing Obsidian vaults.

That’s what I was alluded to when I mentioned GitHub. I have that app, but I already foresee that workflow won’t work for me and my wife. So I didn’t do it that way.

But the way you say it seems to mean it no longer work?
