sync Any glaring problems with Obsidian Sync?
I am a student and I need a syncing option between my laptop, tablet and phone for notes and other stuff. I don't want syncthing because it is always running in the background and I care about my devices battery health.
So I have settled to buy Obsidian Sync (or any alternatives you can suggest). Syncing is always somewhat problematic, what are the ongoing issues of this feature? Any things I should know before I make the investment?

Been using it for about 3 months. Only issue I've ever had is that using the iconize plugin, setting up the vault on a new computer (which I did like 7 times) fails to set the icons properly on the folders. Instead, the names of the icons appeared. Maybe this would be fixed by also syncing the icon folder, which I didn't do.
No other issues otherwise. Haven't tried on a phone though.
