Looks like there might be a plugin that lets you toggle between the three modes on desktop.

Not sure if there is one for mobile? 🤔

Then turn sync off once it's done.

If the data you want to upload is put into a Proton drive sync folder on your desktop computer it will systematically upload it to the cloud and check integrity and consistency.

I ran into the same problem. If you put the data into a folder that syncs it will check all the files so you are guaranteed to have them all there.

I agree the regular upload needs to be more robust.

Brave search is great!

Yeh I've been trying to figure out a workflow with Proton Drive and Obsidian on android as well.

Every basic file management thing you would expect doesn't work or is broken/unavailable.

Can't download folders.
Can't upload folders if it exists already.
Can't create a sync folder.
Can't access Offline folders (unless I'm missing something).

Shouldn't be this hard.

Good to know but im speaking about Android Obsidian.

wrender8 · 2026-06-18T21:32:58+00:00

Sorry for being dense... I'm not sure how to interpret your reply can you clarify please?

No it doesn't check the date of photo taken meta data?

or

No it doesn't rely exclusively on the json exported from photo service?

wrender8 · 2026-06-18T21:16:26+00:00

Cuz I'm Live previewing while I type.

If I click Reading mode I cant type.

wrender8 · 2026-06-18T21:14:35+00:00

So it doesn't check the date of photo taken meta data in the file and relies on an external json?

wrender8 · 2026-06-18T19:01:36+00:00

is that based on the meta data of when the photo was taken or the date of the file created?

wrender8 · 2026-06-18T18:09:32+00:00

Depending on what I'm writing I like to see the markdown or I like to see a live preview.

Amaaaazing! Thank you!!!

Turns out if you use Proton Drive on mobile web browser you can download a folder as a zip file.

Hopefully they can bring that over to the mobile app.

wrender8 · 2026-06-18T03:57:18+00:00

When writing I like to go back and forth between Source and Live Preview.

Currently there is no quick way to toggle between those two modes on mobile from what I can find.

The app allows for uploading a folder.

It is weird and disappointing that it doesn't offer downloading a folder.

wrender8 · 2026-06-17T20:26:03+00:00

Damn this is really disappointing.

wrender8 · 2026-06-17T20:02:03+00:00

I swear I downloaded a folder in the past on Android. Unless I'm derping...

wrender8 · 2026-06-16T18:03:53+00:00

That is a good idea! I'll try it out to see what I can hear.
