I can sync docs via mydrive.ch to home on mac but not to pc at work. It's a little frustrating as I'm trying to write some important documents. Clicking 'verify server' I get error "-15"

Any news on the new webdav?

Also, I noticed that someone from mydrive.ch posted today saying they were willing to work collaboratively to sort this out.

DrRog,

If you're looking for another WebDAV service to try, we (Squeaksoft.com) have at least one customer using our WebDAV service successfully with Zotero. I have tested it on both OS X and Windows using Firefox 3.5.3 and are able to sync files successfully. If you'd like a test account to see if it works for you, feel free to contact us using the form at https://portal.squeaksoft.com/submitticket.php?step=2&deptid=4.

Thanks,
Ron

Another vote for Jungledisk. Few bucks a month, trouble-free with 3 users on 3 different machines, mixed Mac-Win environment. It also has the advantage of a (primitive) html interface for when you're away from your home machine and need network attached storage.

I had a few failed attempts previously at getting the WebDav synchronization to work; but today I finally decided to figure it out. My criteria are simple: I do not want to set up something on my own servers, and I obviously like a free solution.

After reading all the related Zotero threads and trying various solutions, my final conclusion is to use "mydrive.ch". Here is a quick summary of what's wrong with what:

- Dropbox: As opposed to what was implied in one of the threads here, Dropbox does not have WebDAV.

- Box.net: It seemed like a good solution. But I never managed to get it to work. I can login using both HTTP and HTTPS, and it starts syncing fine, but at one point it continuously fails syncing with strange errors. I was not able to finish a full sync on my 400MB library. A potential reason for this (and a big problem with Box.net) is that an individual file cannot be larger than 25MB.

- MyDisk.se: As mentioned in these forums (and as I learned by experience), they don't let Zotero users to use their WebDAV because of their server limitations -- unless you upgrade to their paid service, and even that does not seem to be 100% granted!

- Jungle Disk: Didn't really look too much into it as it seemed to require server setup.

- Foldershare.com: This doesn't seem to be a WebDAV solution, from what I've read here. It's a solution for syncing Zotero libraries in a sense, but "mryckman" mentioned some caveats (e.g. write conflicts, etc.) so I avoided it.

- Livedrive.com: Similar to Foldershare, it is not a WebDAV solution, and it is not free.

- BingoDisk.com: Not free.

- Squeaksoft.com: It's nice that they support Zotero and mention it on their website. The only drawback is that it is 12$/year for 2GB space -- well, I don't want to be cheap. That's really inexpensive. But as I said my objective was to find a free option as there seems to be plenty of WebDAV providers out there.

- MyDrive.ch: It synced my 400MB in 5 minutes (on a Gigabit campus connection)! Works like a charm! You have 2GB space which is more than enough for my 400+ library, and there is no restriction on file size. This is my recommended solution for a pain-free and cost-free setup. By the way, someone mistakenly referred to this as "mydisk.ch", which does not exist.

Hope this saves some people the time I wasted figuring it out :)

Thanks, alik. I've spent a couple of hours trying to get something to work and another couple on these forums. All set with MyDrive!

I've tried with Myddrive.ch. It synced only a part of my library attachments and, above all, after this first partial installment it did not make updates anymore. I've asket to their support service, and thi is their answer:
Hello
I think the problem could be that Zotero stores too many files inside a single folder.
Is it possible to delete some old files, or maybe split it up into multiple folders?
Best regards
Markus Koller
Any hints?
Thank you
