12/2/2023 0 Comments Zotero local storage![]() So, I'm going back to my original question - how can I turn or move those locally stored files on a desktop into a central storage location to which I can access from multiple computers? The issue is: if I store a file attached to an item in Zotero locally on a desktop computer, I'm not going to be able to open that file/pdf etc on another computer and make annotations to it (the pdf, not the item in the library) unless it was added to Zotero library as a linked attachment. I'm not a fool when it comes to syncing, mate. Perhaps people need help because the issues are complicated and not all the scenarios that people face meet the limited instructions online.Īnd you shouldn't have deleted the other post because it is a completely different question to the one posed here.

Linked files are an advanced configuration that we don't recommend for most users, and they also don't work with the iOS app. You can add a storage subscription to sync more files.

If you're going to post here, you should assume we know what we're talking about and take the time to read the documentation we link to. How can I access these older attachments from two or more computers if I change the linked attachment base directory path? Won't the older files be lost? I understand I can add notes and edit the file's information in the zotero library). I have thousands of files in my library, most of which have pdf attachments stored as local files.īut I am unable to move these to an online cloud-based folder for access (when I mean access I mean being able to annotate the pdf attachment. ![]() Zotero instructions say to set the linked attachment base directory on all computers (which you wish to use Zotero) to the same folder (cloud-based) so they can have access to the file.īut I am a little confused as to how do this, or how to proceed. If the file is stored on my local desktop, I cannot open the pdf and annotate it on another desktop. I'm not sure how much syncing really helps for opening an attachment on two or more devices. I assumed if I move the folder to a cloud based folder I could access the files from there? Zotero has instructions on moving a folder to a stored files directory folder to a new computer. ![]()
