Love Obsidian, but for the past 2-3 weeks it would freeze and get slow.
TIL
Themes and plugins must be upgraded separately from core
iCloud appears to not automatically download all files, or quietly reverts some files to cloud only, making indexing and search in obsidian super slow
3.Pages with large markdown table with broken formatting can cause Obsidian to become unresponsive for over a minute each time you try to open that page. Suspect this is a bug?
That is how iCloud tends to be and it isn't restricted to Obsidian. You should consider switching data sync service.
Technically that's a bug in the content, but I see room for better handling by the editor as this can happen in normal editing. Honestly I find live preview edit of a note with a large table cumbersome, so I switch to source mode whenever I need to do that 😔
@sylumer I was always under the impression that Obsidian didn’t play nice with other cloud providers for syncing data. Would you have any advice on better cloud sync platforms? Will look at that plugin, thank you.
@outofcontrol I started with syncing via Git and that was okay. I switched after 5-6 months to Obsidian's own sync and that has been rock solid and fast, and works places I couldn't access Git quite so easily (the driver for my switch).
I do sync one vault via iCloud, but it isn't one I use much as its one I use as a reference vault for showing people. And my iCloud Drive use generally is fairly light across my apps. A few docs (etc.), config files, scripts, and backup copies.
@sylumer Prefer not paying for Obsidians sync if possible, and using my own. Git isn’t really an option unless I get all fancy, as I have 3 machines to keep in sync. A dilemma still perhaps. Running NextCloud locally on a NAS which is nice, but requires being VPN’d into the house at all times when away. Not impossible, just another step to remember. Perhaps this is the way?
@outofcontrol you have nothing to lose by trying. At least nothing mentioned should be losing data, it is more ireliability of content availability and ease of access (at minimal/zero cost).
Your current solution is seemingly no longer fit for purpose, so backup everything and give it a try.
