Use SyncThing. It’s a free FOSS app for syncing files across devices and is available on all devices. I initially used it for Obsidian syncing, but it’s proved incredibly useful beyond that

It is a really good app. But was a pain in the ass to keep the archive in sync using multiple different platforms without paying for their sync addon in my experience. You can roll your own sync with stuff like Syncthing, cloud storage, etc. But the archive had a bad habit of seemingly finding ways to get out of sync.

The biggest issue I had was with folder permissions on Android. I also ended up paying for the sync functionality and have zero regrets.

Did you try any of the sync extensions?

I’ve had zero problems with Dropbox.

Same with OneDrive.
It’s just a folder of markdown files, basically anything should work.

I just paid for the sync 🤷🏻♂️
It’s $4 a month, I drink one beer less a month and I actually save 3€ 😀

Oh I don’t disagree, it is worth it. I ended up paying for it myself before I switched to Joplin. I just went down a rabbit hole of realizing I technically could self host the backend, stubbornly trying to make it work well well beyond what was good sense. 😅

Did you make it work? I kind of remember trying but failing. The promise of self host is a soothing edge against feature backsliding (enshittification) so it’s a great selling point. But not if you try and it’s not actually practical (looking at you signal)
