Upgrade StorageSyncing takes ages
For some time now (at least 30 days, perhaps more) syncing takes ages in Zotero Standalone. I didn't report that hoping a new version would solve the problem, but since nothing changed for better with the 4.0.14 version, I report this.
I have a library with 2000+ items, most of them with attachments uploaded to cloudme via webdav. I sync 3 computers.
What used to be:
when no changes were made to the library, syncing took a few seconds
What is now (when no changes were introduced since last sync, and the previous sync was run from another computer):
1) Sync with Zotero Server - Getting updated data from sync server - takes minutes
2) briefly: a box with 'Processing updated data from sync server'
3) Downloads - the sync process skims through 1000+ items, but does not download anything: Downloads: 0KB remaining (xxx/1351 files), where xxx quickly goes from 1 to 1351
4) Sync with Zotero Server - Getting updated data from sync server (again)
in the 4.0.14 version it gets actually worse, because after running through 1-4, Zotero just looped in 1-2 (it runs fifth cycle as I write this).
I have the full-text option disabled.
hope this helps, let me know if I can provide any further information,

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
But even though, the fact that such looping does take place when syncing on two machines points to the possible cause of the problem - it looks like if syncing on one machine (even when no changes are made) reseted a marker or a timestamp, so all other machines became unsynced, and went into a long syncing process.
