A maybe very peculiar question but I wonder if anyone has been using Cryptomator on android for their note-
taking app to synchronise with a desktop.

I wasn't able to find any software architecture document about it and there aren't enough info online about how cryptomator performs on android in practice. I've read both good and bad reviews however none of them addresses this particular scenario, and I would like to estimate the practicality and feasibility before I commit to it.

(Sorry might be long)

This exact method of combining Cryptomator and Syncthing for Obsidian E2EE sync just came out from a chatbot, which means someone somewhere wrote this "originally" without stating which threat model this is for.

They also seem to have confused public cloud service provider, which users have no control on security, with self-host which users have.

> Quick Start Example: Cryptomator + Syncthing

Install Cryptomator on all devices.
Create a new vault called ObsidianVault.
Inside the mounted Cryptomator drive, create or move your Obsidian vault folder.
Install Syncthing and add the Cryptomator vault’s hidden folder (the .vault directory) as a synced folder.
On each device, start Cryptomator, unlock the vault with the same password, and open the vault in Obsidian.
Syncthing now synchronizes the encrypted .vault files; your notes stay private.
