Zotero File Storage

azeck
Hello I just wanted to make sure I had the terminology correct.

Zotero server accounts are the free accounts that default with 100MB.
Zotero File Storage accounts are the accounts you buy on a per year basis and allows
the user to share pdfs in a Group Library.

Also, the pdfs in the Group Library are only attached to the owners account and not individual group members.

Did I get this right?

Cheers!

    Yes, except you can share files in group libraries with a free account. The only difference in the paid accounts is the amount of storage space.

    Actually I think we mostly use the terminology slightly differently:

    Zotero server is always free. It syncs your data - the size of which is unlimited within the technical means of Zotero.

    Zotero file storage accounts are free up to 100MB - everything above that you have to pay for on a per-year basis. Those allow you to sync files between computers and share files with members of your group

    Here, "data" refers to your bibliographic data. Zotero items and notes.

    File data, in the form of the actual attachments of various sorts, from PDFs to Word documents to web snapshots, is synced using Zotero File Storage or WebDAV. Every user gets 100 MB of Zotero File Storage usage for free and can pay for more. For technical reasons that could be overcome by enterprising new developers, only Zotero File Storage can be used for groups or be linked to from the online library view.

    Right, what adamsmith and ajlyon said.
