Pick your own file sync tool! | Obsidian is text files plus attachments; any sync tool will work |
If you have a vault open on two computers at the same time (you may have left it open and then sent one computer to Sleep), there is one file that can generate a lot of syncing conflicts:
I recommend that you configure your syncing tool to ignore the file .obsidian/workspace.json
under the vault's root folder. This file changes every time you navigate to a page in Obsidian, and it doesn't need to be synced across all of your computers.
