Converting pdfs stored in Zotero to linked files
Is there is any way to shift out pdfs stored in Zotero to a folder outside Zotero but retain them as linked files? I can't do this by creating the links for each file as I already have too many stored in Zotero. I am thinking of storing the pdfs in Dropbox or Box so that they are accessible across devices. I have tried several ways to sync the files across devices - Zotfile, ZotPad, PaperShip, but none of them seem to work after a point. Thanks.
ZotFile also has a feature to automatically move every file in Zotero to a folder specified by you. (Custom Location of Files in the General tab of the preferences) and, of course, you can just designate your Dropbox/Box.com folder as the target for that. Works very well.
You should then also use the "Relative Link" feature in the advanced tab of Zotero so it'll work across machines.
Thanks.
