quoting note1dvv…w97y

So, in Obsidian, my notes would randomly be completely empty. I'd be working on my TODO list, or my current episode's project file with all my links and writing. Then i'd go away from the app to find something, come back, and the entire note is completely empty.

I would have to close the note, open something else, close that, then reopen the original. It would often take like 3-5 seconds, but it would usually come back. Sometimes though I'd have to do this multiple times.

I tried SO many things... today however, I realized i've been using iCloud drive to host all my notes so i could work from the same list on every device without having to subscribe to syncing services.

I was just moving stuff in the file system and I saw the little "cloud" icon next to the Obsidian folder, showing that the content wasn't synced to this device — and it hit me, iCloud is auto removing the files after there is a timeout and only when i refresh it did Obsidian "request" the file again and so it would get reloaded.

Opened Obsidian and my TODO list was blank again, a common occurrence. I clicked on the cloud icon in the finder to download the folder locally, and it popped up almost instantly. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️
