Connect an accessible vault folder and work with Markdown files.

The Obsidian connection works with files in a vault folder you authorize. It is separate from Cloud Sync and is not a replacement for a vault backup.

## Set up the first connection

1. Open Settings, then Connectors, and choose the Obsidian connection.

1. Select the correct vault in the system folder picker and grant access.

1. Open the connected folder and check where new Markdown files will be written.

The connection is intended for iPhone, iPad and Mac with access to the vault. This local vault connection is unavailable in the browser. Lognote does not set up an additional vault-folder sync service for you.

## Free and Pro limits

Free includes one active vault connection with one writable folder within the shared limit of two folders. More vaults and additional folders require Pro. Normal Lognote folders also use this folder budget, so reaching the limit can prevent a new connection.

## Distinguish notes from files

Entries captured in a connected folder are handled as Markdown files. A regular Lognote note can be copied using the Obsidian destination picker. Do not assume that a Lognote backup includes your vault originals. Check the destination before making changes.

## Resolve access problems

Check folder permission and availability. Select the same vault when reconnecting. Disconnect through the connection options and manage vault originals and backups separately. Do not delete files to try to repair a connection.
