Zotero data directory and Pdfs
Hi,
I am relatively new to Zotero and I am still trying to understand how to use it therefore I am sorry that is going to sound like a pretty basic question.
I just want to check that if I add a pdf document into my zotero library either by "drag and drop" or by clicking the “New Item” () button and selecting “Store Copy of File…”, will a copy of this pdf be automotically stored into my Zotero data directory? does it save it in the folder called "storage"?
Therefore if ever I need to export my library in order to put it into a new computer, can I just copy all the folders and files from my Zotero data directory and put them into my new computer? Will all the pdf attachments be saved?
Thank you in advance for your help.
