Average user using Obsidian in this manner

Hi everyone,

I’ve been using Obsidian in its free version on my computer to create complex notes, essentially my own personal wiki with links and images. It’s very convenient for my needs. My database is stored on an external USB drive, which I encrypt with Cryptomator. Before working with it, I decrypt the vault.

How safe is it for an average user to use Obsidian in this manner? Are there any additional security measures I should take?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

That sounds fine IMO. Just be careful because USB flash drives can be unreliable so you might lose all your information
