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).

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!

If you use Cryptomator (free and open source), you can transparently encrypt all your data before it arrives in the cloud.

There’s no reason to pay for sync. As your vault is plain-text files you can use dozens of existing sync solutions.

There’s an open-source community sync plugin which aims to provide an equivalent replacement to the paid sync: github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync

I’m happily syncing my vault with Drive, and also paying for the sync as a way to support the Obsidian app development.

If you’re on iOS, what’s stopping you from using iCloud for free for sync?

Also, apparently Dropbox is also something you can use, though I have no experience with that.

App prevents you from saving in custom location. It’s iCloud or local unspecified spot. So if you want to sync notes between iOS and windows desktop you need to install iCloud on the desktop

Microsoft One Drive also works
