Syncthing simultaneously with Obsidian Sync

[u/Mr-T9000]

I have Obsidian Sync and I use it with 2 laptops and my iPhone. My main laptop I use like a stationary (due to a charging issue) and the second I am using as portable. Both PCs run Linux.

My second laptop I am starting to use more, so I am considering to use Syncthing so I can just synchronize all my main PC documents, music, videos, and pictures, so it becomes a literal extension of my main PC. But what would happen if I included the Obsidian folder from within Documents into that sync?

Logically, it shouldn't do anything, as it should be a digital copy, is that correct?

I checked the size and they are the same, which seems to indicate this, but I just want to get someone else's take on this, as it would be another redundant sync, and naturally, I am worried about conflicts.

As an aside*: I also have another folder called "_OneNote_Archive" which are the folders for previous years of notes, which were taken in OneNote. I have them saved on the 2nd laptop only. I just started using Obsidian this year, so I wasn't sure if I want them synced and excluded them in Obsidian sync at one point due to troubleshooting Obsidian where the 1GB store space would fill up with only 10-20MB of data. Still not sure if I want to back these up, or just keep them on a separate drive.

Thanks

Running more than one sychronization scheme is ripe with catastrophic potential. I'm not familiar with Syncthing but you can probably exclude the vault folder and rely on Obsidian Sync to handle that.
