The Obsidian Android mobile app is now available in private beta. As one of the voluntary financial supporters I received early access to it. Installed it on my android tablet and my phone. The mobile app allows you to use syncing services of your choice. Except that Nextcloud hasn’t yet got a folder/file syncing client for Android yet. So for now I’m using Obsidian’s own (end to end encrypted) syncing service. Laptop, tablet and phone are all synced up. Looking forward to experimenting with it. Also will try and run it on my BOOX Nova2 e-ink reader, which also is an android device.
@ton Interesting as I use Obsidian on my work machine to build a knowledge base, but I wondered…why shouldn’t it work with Nextcloud’s sync? Do you mean it’s not supported by the Obsidian app?What keeps you from just syncing the Obsidian folder and accessing the synced folder on the Android device?
@totoroot it is a nextcloud issue. Nextcloud for android allows accessing files in your cloud, but not two way syncing of a local folder to a folder in your cloud like it does on desktop.
@totoroot if that has changed and i am mistaken then that would be most welcome news
@ton This is a primary reason for me to setup Gitea so I can sync via git between devices running Obsidian. I am a funder, so I look forward to Android app access soon.
@ScottMortimer also have Obsidian on my BOOX Nova2 e-ink reader now.
Ton, is this full read and write? I’ve been waiting on the iOS version, which is stated to be mostly just read (perhaps also with capture, but no edit), which doesn’t get me far.
Yes it is full r/w, as far as I can tell it’s a full version of Obsidian for Android. Except that not every plugin has been ported to it yet. The iOS app for Obsidian also has become available for private beta. Issues are being tracked at https://forum.obsidian.md/c/mobile/18 afaik.
Good to know. Thank you for the pointer to the iOS discussion. Lack of plug-ins is fine, being able to edit and create are the big desires.
Hmm, ik sync nu met git(hub), dat gaat vast niet werken.
Geen idee, volgens mij zijn er wel die via GitHub mobile ook syncen, maar dat kan ik me verkeerd herinneren. Misschien vind je op https://forum.obsidian.md/c/mobile/18 meer?
