Webdav with multiple profile

virtualmind

Hi,
I would like to ask whether using the same webdav server is possible for two different profiles.
I have profiles A and profiles B. One of them is work related. And I would like to sync both of the libraries using pcloud server. I have already synced profile A using webdav. However, if I add sync option for profile B, will I lose my library in profile A? Or will it be perfectly fine?

Thanks,

You can't share the 'zotero' folder on the WebDAV server between profiles. You should move the 'zotero' folder into a dedicated parent folder, point one profile at that, and then create another in another parent folder.

I do not want to share the WebDAV server between profiles. I wonder whether same webdav server can be used for both profiles to sync separately. The parent folders are different for both profile A and profile B (zotero_profile_A and zotero_profile_B). Can the same webdav server be used for both profiles to sync? I mean, can I still reach my both profile libraries separately when I use my personal and work computer? Do not want to mess with the current library before trying multiple profiles.

I told you exactly what to do. You just need to be using different 'zotero' folders on the WebDAV server in the two profiles. I'm not sure what else you're asking.

(But using multiple profiles is an advanced configuration, so if you're still confused by this, I would strongly recommend not using multiple profiles.)

Thanks for the info. One last question, though, to make it clear from my side.

For instance, for the pcloud webdav service (https://webdav.pcloud.com:443/zotero), since we cannot use different folders, this is not possible with pcloud? Is that right?
