Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • I sync everything between 3 different devices, and Google drive, my phone, my tablet and my computer via syncthing.
  • Syncthing. Always a fresh secure vault.
  • Nextcloud and Syncthing for file hosting and syncing/backup
  • I installed Open Media Vault on it along with Tailscale and Syncthing.
  • If not then i don't see why using cloud services/syncthing would fail to resolve those wikilinks. You literally only sync the vault from your window to a designated folder you pick in Android

Cons

  • Syncthing's major annoyance is you only find out the conflict later.
  • Syncthing. I'd be happy to use Obsidian Sync and pay for it for a self-hosted version. But I don't want to keep anything on their servers.
  • As I'm starting to set up syncthing, I'm starting to get anxiety that my vault will be corrupted or it will mess up the versioning or delete stuff
  • Syncthing is an open source option that works similarly, but I have not used it as much so can't vouch.
  • Syncthing was the most recommended option I've seen here on Reddit and from AIs, but it ended up seeming a bit complicated to set up for me.
