I use Dropbox to sync between my tablet, phone, and laptop. Dropbox let's you use three devices for free so I don't pay anything for this solution and everything is backed up to Dropbox. My phone and tablet are both android devices so I use dropsync to actually do the syncing with Dropbox so that they can be accessed via Obsidian.
Could you elaborate a bit more on the 3 devices restriction? I've never heard about that before. What about the size limit? Thank you!
Their basic (free) plan only allows you to be signed in to 3 devices at a time. So, for example, if I were signed in on my home computer, work computer, and phone (via the Dropbox app), I wouldn't be able to sign in on my tablet (via the app). I specify the app because I think you could still sign in via the browser and download files, but you wouldn't be able to automatically sync files to the tablet.
The Dropbox docs say the basic account only gets 2GB, but when I look at my account it's showing 3.2GB with 65% so I'm not sure what the actual number is. They kind of bury info about the free tier but you can visit the link below.
