Upgrade StorageWhere did my files go?
I am using zotero in firefox on a laptop and standalone on a pc. Had a bunch of files in a collection that I accessed 2 days ago -before I had set up my zotero sync. Now all my new files are synced perfectly but my old collection is empty. Where did my files go? Can I retrieve them or see my old zotero history? Did I somehow accidentally purge my zotero online storage?
Are you sure they are not still in your library, and it's just your collection that has gotten deleted?
What happened is that I had previously been using zotero standalone on another computer that crashed - and I had not had syncing set up, and I then set up a new computer, new zotero standalone and set up sync.
I think that I may simply have never synced the files from my standalone to the online database since I wasn't using multiple computers at the time, or I may have accidentally hit purge and cleared the online files before setting up syncing to my new standalone.
I have zotero integrated to mendeley so I have all the original files, but wondered why/how they could have disappeared from zotero.
Now that I am working from multiple computers, is it safe to set up a zotero standalone on all and have them sync? Can I leave it open on the desktop? I don't want to lose anything?
This is really BAD.
Please don't have this be so easy to do.
