on using Attanger

rudrab

Hi all,
I am trying to move from Mendeley to Zotero.
I am using Attanger to use Google Drive as my storage. But, I can see that Google Drive is syncing the zotero drive and not my local storage.

What I am doing wrong?
Kindly help

To be clear, you can't use a cloud service for your Zotero data folder.

If you have set Zotero's Data Directory Location (under Advanced\Files & Folders) to Google Drive you need to revert that.

You can use the attanger plugin (or zotmoov) to manage the saving of all (future) PDFs downloaded via the Zotero web connector, as linked files to a cloud-mirrored folder like Google Drive. You set the 'move to' folder (Destination Path in your screenshot) to the folder in Google Drive where you want all linked PDFs to be stored.

Note the limitations of linked files:

(@rudrab: We don't provide official support for linked files in general, but note that you're also using an unofficial, sandboxed Flatpak version of Zotero, which might further complicate things.)
