I just access my markdown files from Obsidian through nextcloud. When I'm on my phone I just use a simple markdown editor, when I'm on my PC I use Obsidian.

Do you use any plug-ins for that? Obsidian tells me it only supports Obsidian Sync and iCloud out of the box.

You don't have to use any plugins. You can put your obsidian vault anywhere you like, e.g. in a folder that is synched by nextcloud. I use a git repo for this, which works fine also on mobile.

I get how that works on desktop, but on mobile, I can add a local file as a vault in Obsidian, but I don't think that file could be tracked by my cloud sync app. Does the Nextcloud app support that? Not sure how you use git here, could you explain?

What I have gotten to work was to download a file from the sync app, open it in a markdown editor app and then save it to the cloud by sending it back to the sync app. It technically works but it was a bit too inconvenient to become a real habit (too many taps, need to rename the file on upload and set location each time,...).
