Toggle to not sync specified files?

I have just had an issue where I have a PDF that is nearly 400MB in my collection (its a scan, not done by me, of a 1929 report).

This obviously creates sync issues in terms of speed, bandwidth, and use of my storage space.

I have been through options of shrinking the PDF but found myself with a 30MB file that is of much poorer quality. So I have found myself wanting to keep the large PDF in my collection, but just use it on my main local machine and not sync to either the serve or or my other computers.

Is there a way to achieve this? The intuitive thing, at least for me, would be to be able to right click a file in my local collection and select an option to flag a file not to be synced.

Does that make any sense? Is this possible?
  • It would be nice - I'm not sure it's going to happen anytime soon, though, because it's also a pretty significant amount of work.

    The way to go currently is to not store the file in Zotero, but rather somewhere else on your HD and use "Link to File" - linked files are not synced.
