Cross system / OS landscapes can make it nearly impossible without Obsidian Sync. It's okay for Android & Windows, but if you throw an iPad into the mix, you can't really find a local/cloud sync for them all. iOS especially has some limitations on how apps can access files, so your only options are iCloud or Obsidian Sync.

This is untrue, I use iOS Working Copy connected to my git repo which contains my Obsidian vault. It's also on on my android pixel phone and I have it on my windows machine. Everything syncs just fine using a private github repo.

Do you use end to end encryption? I don't want 3rd party companies to see my data.

Of course obsidian is not open source so I can't guarantee their e2e sync service doesn't sneakily send the data to their servers, but it's still less risky than having it easily available to the company employees.

I use a community plugin that saves to a Hetzner storage box, which support webdav off the shelf. Works flawlessly across all the platforms you mention and Linux too.
