    Maybe I don’t understand what you mean, but I have an smb share that my phone can always access (via vpn, or when on network). IOS does a good job remembering it, staying connected, and reconnecting between interruptions. I keep my obsidian folder on the share and the iOS app has never had problems finding and connecting to it, just as my desktop and laptop, keeping everything in sync automatically.

      Interesting. I don’t use Samba, but a different app for syncing, and it’s much more of a headache.

      Either Obsidian wants you to log into sync, or it helpfully makes a new vault on icloud.

      There is not a third option, with their forums suggesting that they weren’t going to add one, due to iOS limitations.

        That has been my experience with it as well and it is definitely limiting! You can play some games with git and turn your local Obsidian vault into a repository. I sync with WorkingCopy (pro) on iOS.
