Introduction

• Obsidian is a powerful and extensible note-taking tool that uses local Markdown files to organize your knowledge.

   4. Name of the personal folder on kDrive, for example /obsidian/ or /folder name/ (see the introduction above)
      
8. Configure the plugin's behavior according to your preferences (synchronization on startup, scheduled, or in real time) and validate.
9. Start a first synchronization test to validate proper communication with kDrive:
   
10. Once the confirmation is validated, the synchronization will run in the background to protect the integrity of your notes:
