Obsidian is now free for work

Excellent development! I saw first Obsidian years ago but my main use case would have been for myself at work and I wasn't willing to battle the bureaucratic hoops at my job to try a product I wasn't sure I'd actually stick with long term (like my attempts with logseq). Ended up not even trying it on a personal level. Looking forward to seeing how it goes and who knows maybe I'll end up stick with it and battle to contribute some funds.

Can you use something like iCloud, Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive to get sync for free? Does it work well? Many do that with Joplin.

I use iCloud, had no problems so far - it's just markdown files anyways

you can use onedrive to sync the files, and there's also community-made plugins for onedrive and git

I wonder if this is a prelude to make obsidian open-source. Would be pretty great.

I hope this doesn't destroy their financing. I would hate to see them go down, it's a wonderful piece of software.
