I never managed to do that. Obsidian insisted on putting its vault in its own folder, not on iCloud, IIRC.

Is there a guide how to set it up?

You just set up a two way sync.

One folder- a Notes folder where all your "vault"s are- on your phone. That syncs with a folder on the cloud. Then get the sync app client on your laptop/PC. Then sync a local folder from your laptop with the cloud folder.

The Obsidian for desktop app is pretty great.

The whole thing works great for me.

So it's like this-

    _______                  _________________                        ________
    |phone |---------------> |cloud           |<--------------------- |laptop|
    |notes |  (2 way sync)   |folder of       |     (2 way sync)      |notes |
    |folder|<--------------  |MEGA/DB/box/sync|---------------------> |folder|
    -------                  ------------------                       --------
This method is tried and platform agnostic. All you need is a client that is available for your platform.

Not if Obsidian doesn't let me choose the folder, because the sync apps don't have access to its default folder.

This is not my channel, but is a pretty good guide to set it up

It equates to basically standing up a new vault on an iOS device and choosing to store it in iCloud in the first place, then migrating the data over
