WebDAV

Hi,
I set up the WebDAV sync of the attachments but the storage space in the zotero web site seems unchanged. I mean it seems the attachments are also on the zotero servers, not only on the WebDAV server. Is this normal? What happens if I try to put more than 100MB on WebDAV server? Will the zotero storage space get full also?
Thank you,
Razvan

Zotero doesn't (can't) know how much space you have on your WebDAV - the storage display on zotero.org only refers to Zotero file storage.
If you sync files to a webDAV, they're not synced to Zotero storage - if you see the storage on Zotero filling up while using WebDAV, your settings (under Zotero preferences --> sync in the Zotero client) may be wrong.

Thanks,
I think the settings are fine because I saw stuff appearing in the webDAV but the problem is that I think the files are sync'd to Zotero too. I want to put the pdfs only in webDAV but to be able to read the abstracts using the Zotero web page. Is this possible? What should I change in the settings? Now I have everything checked in the Preference-Sync page and the webDAV is OK if I try to verify it.
Best,
Razvan

file sync is either or - you're definitely not syncing to both.

If you have files in groups those can only be synced using Zotero storage (and will be if you have that option checked).
