I can't use this for work unless I pay $50 per year, is that right? If I sign up for the Sync or Publish plans, do I still need to pay $50 per year to use it at work? Or is that included?
If you want to use it for work, you need a commercial license. That's $50/month, yes. https://obsidian.md/eula

I can think of a number of other notes syncing that's better -- probably even Evernote's. As a happily paying Obsidian Sync customer, I'll drop some reality, so new people aren't caught off-guard. - Obsidian Sync is pretty slow. - Obsidian Sync doesn't happen in the background, at present. That means, if you just made a bunch of updates in Obsidian, or you haven't opened the Obsidian mobile app in a while, you're in…
What's faster than Obs sync? Genuinely curious since I thought I tried most of the options out there apart from syncthing.

You can always use Mega sync. And it has 15 GB free forever, just like Google Drive. Mega sync has native clients in MacOS, Linux, Windows, iOS, Android.
Does it not ultimately have the same problem? i.e. when you open obsidian, there's no guarantee the files are up to date as Android may have killed the third party sync program. And on iOS, there's no way for the sync program and obsidian to share the same filesystem short of the obsidian devs explicitly integrating

#244The only thing I am missing from Obsidian is PDF annotating as Logseq has it. Basically, you open a pdf and whatever you highlight you can copy as a link and put on any page. Then, clicking the link opens the pdf back up at that spot.

A few days ago I wrote a small utility to setup cron-like timers to pull/push my Obsidian notes :-) https://pypi.org/project/grony/
Love when someone find a solution for his issue. For your convenience try the Git Plugin in Obsidian. Probably it will help you.
I know the plugin, but it seems to work only for Github hosted repos. I want my notes to be elsewhere.

#248No thanks. I'll use a pen and paper for note taking.

Obsidian Sync is by no means cheap, but I've never used a better syncing service. I'm on my second year and can't think of a single issue I've had across laptops, desktops, an Android phone, and a Chromebook.
I love Obsidian Sync as well but to be devil's advocate, it doesn't "just work" as a lot of people claim. It's still a bit rough around the edges. For example, it doesn't sync settings or starred files immediately. I've also noticed it dropping some text if I edit the same file on multiple devices simultaneously (or even in quick succession before sync is able to catch up). I'm sure these issues and more would exist…
I don't think that's the intended use case of Sync or anything they've ever said it could be used for.

#250This kind of feature would obviously not be able to be implemented into a (easily readable) markdown file, so, as Obsidian is willing to go to the proprietary open format route, could someone please consider adding usable tables as a feature? Even simple stuff like multiline cells would greatly increase the usability of the tool. The current table experience even with the community plugins is... not ideal.
Emacs org-mode does demonstrate that it is possible to create a usable interface for text-mode tables.
