Importing library into Zotero on iPad

NickNack9278

Hi,

I downloaded Zotero on my iPad and wanted to import my library that I created on my laptop.

I know that there is the syncing function if you have an account that stores your data online, but somehow when I created my account on my laptop a few years ago I opted for local storage only. So that’s the situation we‘re dealing with. :D My laptop is not available atm, so I can’t change that situation now.

I have exported the library from my old account in an .rdf file, but now I can’t seem to import it in my new account. I’m new to iOS in general, so maybe this is easier to fix than I thought and I’m just unfamiliar with the handling.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance:)

Syncing is the only way to do this (and the only way you'd want to do it, since you'd end up with duplicates if you exported and later synced).

Also you shouldn't have multiple accounts. If you're having trouble accessing your old account, email support@zotero.org with details.
