  • I am using SwissDisk for WebDav. I set up my account with them, then followed the instructions in the Zotero documentation for setting up the WebDav. I have not tried syncing, however. The SwissDisk space also acts like a remote server for my comput…
  • I also have the disk space problem, and my temporary solution is to save the info and link without a snapshot. I use the abstract field to type in a few lines for what the link is about, trying to use words that I am likely to use as search terms in…
  • I have a similar question -- when I copy a standalone note into either an text input box in Firefox or into OpenOffice, I get and around the contents. This is a nuisance to edit out. I checked preferences to see if including this format coding was…
  • I successfully set up webDav on SwissDisc. They offer a secure webDav server with a very small free account (50 MB), and what I think are very expensive paid options. Since I'm only using it for my Zotero folder and I don't have a lot of disc room o…

  • Wow, that was a quick response! Thanks, I'll try it next time. Also, vanessajdiaz -- don't be offended -- I know to ask this because I did this myself. Are you actually clicking the icon that Zotero places in the address bar? It looks like a…
  • I have noticed when using Amazon that the pages take a long time to load fully -- my browser displays the names of one script after another that are being loaded--I think most of them are involved with delivering advertising to the page or tracking …

  • Liz: I did this a few days ago myself. I think it was as simple as opening Zotero, opening the folder in MyLibrary that I wanted to copy from, and selecting and dragging all the files down into folder for the group library. I only had a handful…
  • I figured out that if I use the show/hide toggle switch for the tag selector to close it entirely, then I can resize the whole Zotero pane. If the tag selector is visible, Zotero takes the whole lower half of the screen. That may be what the earlier…
  • I tried this solution and I found that I can't shrink the tag selector either. In fact, none of the only resize arrows that work for me are the ones for the columns (title, date etc.) in the center column). I'm running Zotero 2.0b5 and Firefox …
  • I have the same questions as Esther.
  • You can use Zotero to create a bibliography (a list of your items). There are plug-ins for Word and OpenOffice.org to allow you to work with your Zotero data from within those programs, or to export a bibliography into them. Word has wiza…
