Being a Obsidian Power-User, I always wanted to update my notes from any of my devices from the beginning but didn't have a great use case to host my notes with the paid version of Obsidian Sync. iCloud Drive would be the best option and it's free! These steps are not the only way to sync with iCloud but I found this order easiest way to setup.
Requirements #
Setup #
Setup and enable iCloud Drive on all devices you want to sync.[1]
Open the Obsidian iOS or iPadOS app and select "Create new vault".
Type a vault name and check "Store in iCloud" then tap "Create".
iOS Obsidian - Store in iCloud
Move to your macOS device and open the Obsidian app.
Open the newly create vault with File > Open Vault...
Browse to iCloud Drive > Obsidian >
vault name
and click "Open".Create a new note for testing with File > New Note
- Return to your Obsidian app on iOS and see if your file synced.
Success!
*Existing Obsidian Users: Copy all your previous vault files and directory structure to this iCloud folder
*Note: You can also download iCloud Drive for Windows and keep your Obsidian vault insync on a Windows device.
I've got one vault synced across, macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and Windows 11 devices.
