Android Zotero not displaying images

hari1 · 2025-02-11T05:29:03+00:00

On my Zotero 7 desktop app on my windows laptop, I have a few notes (both standalone and child notes) into which I have pasted small screen clippings as images. When I access these notes on my android mobile phone the images are not displayed. I just see a rectangle. (But the text notes I typed about these images are getting displayed.)

Can someone please tell me what I need to do to enable display?

Text in notes are synced as data with your library. But images in notes are synced via file syncing (as in Zotero storage or webdav), I believe. Maybe you have Data Syncing turned on under Sync in your desktop app settings, but File Syncing (below Data Syncing) is not set up or that you have maxed out your quota (if you're using Zotero storage?)

The note editor in the Android app doesn't yet display embedded images in notes. It will in a future update.

@enozkan I have set up File Syncing as well and I have enough storage space.

It is nice to have images displayed across devices (like other note taking apps like Obsidian or MS One Note allow.) In the meantime I will have to change my workflow to save the images in a cloud folder and add a link to that in my notes.
