Syncing for teams
Obsidian is designed to work both online and offline and give you total control over your team's data. To share data across your team, you will need to choose a sync solution.
#
Syncing tools and services
Obsidian offers an official service called Obsidian Sync which provides end-to-end encrypted syncing for small teams up to 20 users.
Because Obsidian stores your data in plain text .md
files, there are numerous options available to sync data across devices and control access to your team's data. This can include version control systems such as Git, network attached storage systems, and many services such as Dropbox, Google Drive, and more.

Obsidian Sync for teams
With Obsidian Sync you can collaborate on a shared vault with your team.
All collaborators must have an active Sync subscription to access a shared vault. Joining a shared vault does not count towards your remote vault limit. Note that Obsidian Sync is not included with the Commercial license and must be purchased separately.
If the remote vault is end-to-end encrypted, collaborators must enter the encryption password when they first access the shared remote vault.

Frequently asked questions
Can I purchase one Sync subscription and use it for my team? If you are a team of one person, yes, you can use the Sync subscription for that team member. However, if you have multiple team members, each member will need their own Obsidian Sync subscription to access and share remote vaults.
Do you have an on-premises Sync server? Obsidian Sync does not have an on-premises solution at this time. Feel free to add your use case to this feature request thread.
