I think you can just sync the Obsidian Directory with any cloud service or syncthing and it should work fine.

I never said people shouldn’t have that right, i was just genuinely wondering why it’s important to people. Thanks for the insight, definitely good points you make. :) But somehow I think, if a big company wants to scrape that data (thats still publicly available, whether you make it natively searchable or not) they can do it anyway. So if you’re worried about that, shouldn’t you rather just not post that stuff to the public? (I want to emphasise again that I’m not trying to argue against you, I just want to understand as I’m not that well versed on these topics)

Genuine question: why would people have a problem with making stuff you post publicly searchable?

As expected: Many words, no substance at all
