    Can we can that one synced without having to pay something?

    I remember that the only workaround available was something like folder setup on mobile which in turn had to be synced with another app in order to ensure WebDAV sync for instance.

    Needless to say that this is really inefficient.

      I already had a OneDrive account so using this plugin was easy. You can also use Syncthing for syncing the markdown files across your devices.

        Thanks, I will have a look at this. I assume you didn’t ran into any sync issues since you started using this, right?

        Quick heads up: I tried to setup the plugin for a Nextcloud WebDAV service I use and couldn’t succeed to a misconfig on the server side or a bug in the plugin. That’s too much of a hassle to switch, if someone has a better option please chime in.
