Upgrade StorageUsing Zotero with a word document stored in OneDrive
Hi,
As a librarian I have been teaching students Zotero for years. I have always taught them to store the word-file they are working on locally on there harddrive - telling them that, espcially large documents, can corupt if they add, edit etc. from Zotero to a word-document stored on any cloud-drive. Because of the upload/download-situation.
I recommend them to have a locally stored folder containing "Todays Work" nad them by the end of the day backing up to whatever cloud service.
Now I'm looking for documentation for my practice - is it (still) the case that it
can corupt the linkage between the specific word-document and zotero to store the Word-file in a cloud while working?

(Zotero users have sometimes run into an issue when storing Word documents in OneDrive specifically if there are spaces in the filename. See Step 7 on Troubleshooting Errors in Word Processor Documents. It's not clear how much this still happens, but if it does, renaming the file to avoid spaces should fix it.)
