Tring to work out how this all works.

So, I have Zotero (Standalone) running on my Mac (and Zotero for Firefox) installed as well.

I have about 4500 papers and documents (which I am slowly working through annotating,tagging.) This means that a "local file store" is more appropriate than storing on zotero.org.

I think I had zotfile installed - I went through the motions, but it's not showing up in any menus. And I have put zotpad on my ipad. , and set it up with my zotero credentials. It can see the list of files, but attempts to open them say"download failed" - which to me sounds like they are trying to download them from zotero.org - am I doing this incorrectly? OR do I have incorrect expectations..

    ZotPad can only sync from Zotero.org or a WebDAV provider. If you don't sync the pdfs through one of those options from your computer, there's no way ZotPad can fetch them.

    ZotFile is primarily useful (in terms of tablet sync) if you want to use a non-WebDAV sync provider. But either way, you have to put your pdfs somewhere online.
