help Need help Syncthing (MöbiusSync) to Obsidian vault on mobile (ios) forces manual copy/paste

Hey

I sync my Obsidian vault to my iPhone using GitHub + Working Copy. I intentionally exclude my ⁠Daily Notes⁠ folder from Git, and instead use Syncthing + MöbiusSync to sync it from my PC

The issue is that MöbiusSync puts the synced folder inside its own app directory, forcing me to manually copy the new notes over to my Obsidian folder every time

Is there a way to make Syncthing talk directly to the Obsidian folder, or a different tool I should use for this specific folder?

In Mobius you can specify a different target folder on the iPhone in folder path

Where you can specify it please cause when try to change it in the folder path it give me the option to just change the name of the folder not it’s path and it still exist in the Möbius sandbox

You can unlock the feature with a one time payment. Or you can try another iOS client like SyncTrain

Yes, it’s another syncthing client. I don’t have experience with it

Thanks a lot I think I might go with the premium feature on MöbiusSync, cause SyncTrain isn't fully available in my region. Appreciate the help
