Finally seriously looking at #Obsidian Sync.

Where should I store my vault on my #Mac? I feel so lost! For years × ∞ I've put everything in Dropbox or iCloud, but that, I hear, is a recipe for sync troubles.

* looks at computer as if for the first time, confused expression on previously confident face *

Why is my Documents folder greyed out? Where am I? *Who* am I ?? Help me, obi-@obsidianmd, you're my only hope!

@ellane @obsidianmd I use iCloud and Sync, so for that reason I don’t put my Obsidian vaults in my Documents folder, because iCloud backs those files up. I place my vault in the same folder that Documents, Desktop, and Downloads are in — my user folder (named Pam).
