Upgrade StorageZotero cloud document sync integrated into Boox library app?
Hi there,
Just wondering if anybody has experience with accessing Zotero cloud documents with their Boox tablets. Today I noticed after a firmware update that the built-in Boox library app can access content on the cloud (from several services like Dropbox, evernote, onedrive, webdav, and zotero). I was able to bind my zotero account and see my library (by tapping the little cloud icon), with each citation taking you to a screen with three tabs: Information (where you see the basic citation info and the abstract), Notes (where you can see your notes that you wrote in the desktop app... I tried to create a new one for a particular citation, and it showed up on the Boox interface quicky), and finally the Attachment tab.
The kicker is that the Attachment tab is blank, but I think this is where I am supposed to access the pdf. Has anybody had any luck making the pdf show up? I confirmed that the document I was trying to access is viewable in the zotero cloud library.

Attachments tab is empty for linked files (as expected).
I can read and annotate no problem.
Maybe unbind and bind again and make sure you didn't uncheck some setting?
Annotations are embedded into pdf, and since Zotero annotations aren't embedded; they don't show up in Neo Reader.
Reading wise, perfect. Workflow wise, not even close to native Zotero app.
Being able to do some work on desktop and switching to tablet back to back without losing highlights are more important than other pdf reader features, for me.
I see your point though, they can totally borrow some features from neo reader.
Thanks
Did you select all the options when you connected it?
Interestingly, I've found that there seems to be some inconsistency in which pdf attachments are visible on my Boox. I use Zotero storage, and almost all of my entries have been added via the Chrome extension. These have pdf files in the Zotero desktop app, and in the Android app, but not on the Boox.
However, just to experiment, I manually added a pdf to my Zotero desktop app (not via the Chrome extension) and this one was visible on the Boox.
Then, I manually added a pdf file to an existing Zotero entry (which already had a pdf attachment, but I couldn't see that on the Boox). Now there are two pdf attachments, according to both the desktop and android apps. However, only the newly added pdf attachment is visible on Boox, despite being the same file!
This leads to wonder if the issue might have something to do with entries that have been added via the Zotero web browser extension?
Attachments don't show up when they're labeled as "Full Paper PDF" drawn from the browser extension. If it's a manually added pdf, things are fine.
Anyone found a solution to this?
