Summary

The user has a large number of attachments and cannot sync the entire attachments folder across devices. They are looking for a feature similar to Evernote’s on-demand loading, where attachments are only downloaded when needed, presumably to save local storage space and sync time.

Key Insights

1. Current synchronization methods are inadequate for users with very large attachment directories.
2. Users desire cloud-native behavior for attachments (on-demand loading/streaming).
3. This feature would significantly improve the usability of Obsidian across devices with limited local storage.

Enhancement Suggestions

No enhancement suggestions available

Analysis

This suggests a common pain point for users with large vaults: storage constraints on secondary devices (like mobile). Obsidian currently relies heavily on full local synchronization. A true on-demand loading/caching mechanism (like cloud storage providers often offer for large files) would significantly improve usability for power users with massive vaults.
