obsidian-livesync VS remotely-save

I'm using https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync with IBM cloudant as described by the documentation. It handle my android phone, a windows laptop, a windows desktop and a linux desktop

Thanks for the pointer!

https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync: self-hostable sync via CouchDB, MIT license, supports the visual conflict resolver and end-to-end encryption.

Hi. Are you troubled about the Obsidian LiveSync plugin?

i use https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync and self-host a couchdb instance for it...

this looks like it might be a bit cleaner once it's all fleshed out...

I use https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync - works like a charm

You can selfhost a live sync server using https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync in my opinion it’s even better than obsidian sync and very feature rich. Would highly highly recommend

You're not and you're actually reinventing the wheel as a couple of options for that are already available as community plugins. I've been using Remote-save for a while with a almost free private S3 bucket and encryption to sync between my computers and phone for a while.

It supports more than just S3 (as is listed in the README), its just what I use.

There's an Obisidian plugin for direct syncing to OneDrive that works on both mobile and desktop - this keeps you from having to deal with either triggered syncs through github or the various other, painful syncing processes.

I didn't try any of them to be honest. But I remember seeing a couple of posts mentioning their drawbacks. With that said, you may follow this documentation on how to connect your DropBox.

It can be done today. https://github.com/remotely-save/remotely-save

What are the specific advantages of using Remotely Save plugin compared to simply saving the vault in OneDrive?

I use Remotely Save plugin synced with a free tier OneDrive (sadly gdrive isn't supported) and it works very well. Maybe if you not find any alternatives good enought (most of then are a bit hard to setup and maintain) and do not want to pay the official sync plugin than this may work for you as worked for me.

You can use Remotely Save plug-in. It is a life saver for me to sync between different devices.

I'm currently using Remotely save without problems between Windows, iPad and Android.

My Nextcloud instance also synchronizes my Obsidian vault so highlits after uploading are available also there on desktop. On mobile I also use Obsidian with remotely-save plugin https://github.com/remotely-save/remotely-save so I have access to all uploaded files.
