An Obsidian plugin that syncs notes across devices using the user's own Google Drive, serving as a free alternative to the paid Obsidian Sync service. It installs via BRAT and offers automatic background syncing without requiring Git or Google Cloud project setup.

Use cases

  • sync obsidian notes across devices for free
  • backup my obsidian vault to google drive
  • access obsidian notes on mobile and desktop
  • alternative to paid obsidian sync
  • auto-sync markdown notes while editing
  • sync obsidian vault without git

When to choose

  • you want free cross-device Obsidian syncing using your own Google Drive storage
  • you want a simpler setup than git-based sync solutions
  • you have a small-to-medium vault (under ~1k files)
  • you prefer notes stored on your own Google account with no third-party data collection

When to avoid

  • your vault has more than ~1,000 files, since the plugin is not yet optimized for large vaults
  • you need battle-tested reliability - the plugin is under active development and releases may introduce bugs or data loss
  • you are running Obsidian v1.7+ with a plugin version older than beta-17
  • you need a plugin listed in the official Obsidian community plugin directory
