That's it, no other benefits or motivation. I thought it might be something where I can leverage the power of JavaScript/Bash and bring this idea into an existence. Yes, I am actually a beginner in JavaScript and in asynchronous programming, one day an idea came into my mind about what if I can also access the notes present/written using obsidian in my mobile.

I was so excited to announce and didn't give it a second thought. Yes, you're correct about this, I should've mentioned about my intentions and what I am looking for from people in this community, I should've written my post in a different way that explains more about the motivation, the reason, and my needs/wants or simply something that explains in a better way to the end users.

There's a thing called OAuth that helps user to do that, however it's little complicated and requires another extra involvement with the JS script, then I tried with a different approach called 'google service accounts' and the reason why readME looks filled with images/text because I wanted to explain the procedure/steps of how to get this or that, I could've simply added the link of the documentation that explains how to get your service account but as a beginner I decided to write it in this way. And later you can access the files present on google drive in your phone and view it on obsidian mobile application. Now, the thing is, in order to upload files that you've created with the use of obsidian, you'd need a module or library you can say which is 'googleapis' in Javascript, and if you're going to communicate with the google drive, then you'd need authorization and authentication of the user who'll be doing all of that, which in our case is 'us'. So, when I was looking out some features for obsidian, I came across to 'obsidian cloud sync.' which requires some payment, as a student myself, I thought instead of uploading files on obsidian cloud why can't I upload it to somewhere else that's free and provide tons of space, I checked mega and google drive but as we know, most of the people nowadays have google account and its product called 'google drive' is free to use and allows 15GB of storage, so I chose this over obsidian cloud. I'll write a little bit about why this idea popped up in my mind and why I used google, actually I am beginner in JavaScript and asynchronous coding design. Please provide some suggestions or if you'd like to contribute then join.

I'll add more things to it, For the full read you can check it out on GitHub : I've created this project just for fun and to learn new things, and yes to synchronize the files from the 'Obsidian Vault' directory present on my desktop to the one in mobile.

Once uploaded, you can use the an application (given in the project description) on your mobile to download those files and open it on your mobile application. This project automates some of its task i.e., suppose you've written some notes and finalized it, once you close the application, the background scripts running get the names of the files you've written, created or modified and upload to your google drive.

You can easily synchronize the files present on your desktop obsidian vault and mobile. As an avid worshiper of obsidian, I have created a project with the help of JavaScript and Bash to provide a simple alternate of obsidian vault without a need of subscription.
