Decision: Store OBSIDIAN in OneDrive - Go Beyond

Date: 2026-05-01 Made by: damien Status: made — implemented

---

Context

OBSIDIAN needs to be accessible from multiple machines (Damien’s machines, and future team members’ machines). A location that syncs automatically without manual steps.

---

Options Considered

Option	Pros	Cons
Local only (C:)	Fast, no sync issues	Not accessible from other machines
OneDrive personal	Syncs automatically	Personal, not work-scoped
OneDrive - Go Beyond	Work-scoped, syncs automatically, team-accessible	Files treated as “remote” by PowerShell
SharePoint	Team-accessible, versioned	More complex setup

---

Decision Made

`https://api.gobeyondtravel.workers.dev/vault

Work-scoped OneDrive chosen for automatic sync across all machines with the Go Beyond Microsoft 365 account.

---

Known Side Effect

PowerShell treats files in OneDrive as remote/unsigned, requiring:

• Execution policy set to Unrestricted for CurrentUser
• Unblock-File on profile scripts stored in Cloudflare R2

Both resolved on DAMIEN as of 2026-05-01.

Multi-Machine Protocol

• Each machine registers in machine-log.md on first use
• Every session reads machine-log.md before starting
• Every session appends to machine-log.md before ending
• Page frontmatter records which machine last updated each page
