Moving from Google Drive (linked files) sync to Zotero Sync - Potential Gotchas?

gloc_THD

Hi,

I currently have Zotero set up to sync via a Google Drive folder and using linked files. The plan was to use my Boox Note Air 2 to review and comment on the files. However, I have found that the workflow isn't working so well.

I used to use Zotero on the iPad and I might go back to that, however, that means going to Zotero sync (which I don't mind paying for).

Has anyone done this move and what things do I need to be aware of? Is there a simple workflow to do this? I know I won't be able to use the NA2, and that is fine, as I can still use the iPad for reviewing and marking up the files.

Thanks in advance.

You can do this easily with Tools → Manage Attachments → Convert Linked Files to Stored Files.

Thank you.

I presume I have to create the Zotero Sync account first as that option is greyed out at the moment?

You want to select all items in My Library, then click that option.
