I just have my vault sitting in Dropbox ... Not sure what I would gain by moving to Sync?

End-to-end encryption, integrated version history, better mobile support, granular control over which settings and files are synced to each device.

And generally help the continued development of Obsidian so we can stay 100% user-supported.

Have you guys thought about extending version history beyond a year, or at least allowing users to export it so that it's not permanently lost? I'd subscribe to Obsidian Sync for the rest of my life if it wasn't for this one missing feature.

I did the same, but sync takes it to another level - the conflict resolution is far better, especially when you have it on both desktop and mobile, and for multiple users on a team you can work on the same doc at the same time without worrying or having to check if Dropbox is working. Add the version history and it's a no-brainer.

Access on mobile would be main reason. Perhaps that’s an iOS limitation, and Dropbox on Android is just a perfect replacement.
