This worked for me until iCloud started cache clearing all my files aggressively so my vault would take ten minutes to open on iPhone. Every few days.

When I tried to copy my vault off iCloud, the copy failed and two years of notes were permanently lost.

I’m never putting anything of value in iCloud again.

Flashbacks to the time I copied iCloud pointers/placeholders thinking I was actually copying files with actual data. Oh well, who needed those few years of documents anyway.

Funny how Steve Jobs famously derided Dropbox as "a feature not a product" and yet even after trying for decades Apple can't get that feature right.

FWIW it has an option these days to keep folders permanently downloaded/local.
