Upgrade StorageTwo instances of Zotero
Is there any danger in have the desktop and web versions of Zotero simultaneously, even if only one instance is being used?
The following old discussion suggests this is not a good idea, even if Dropbox is not being used, but I'd like to be certain.

The Zotero data folder should not be placed in Dropbox, ** because the zotero.sqlite database file can be corrupted if it is accessed by more than one instance of Zotero (even at different times). **"

adamsmithNo, as long as you are using Zotero's own sync, everything is fine. Using other sync solutions (like Dropbox) is the problem
