Hi,

Since 2009 I used to class articles using Zotero. I didn't connect for few years. All my folders and files in Zotero have been deleted. I need to get back my content. Is there abny back-up of profiles content ?

Thanks for to help.

Does anyone have a similar problem?

How were the files deleted? Did you get a new computer/wipe your hard drive? Or did you delete them in Zotero?

General instructions for Zotero backups are here:

We can give you more specific help if you can provide more details about your situation.

In fact it was in 2013, I used Zotero's plugin with Firefox, I didn't deleted anything. I didn't saved my researchs content from the Browser.
Yes I've changed my browser, and my laptop to.
I have not back-up to restore, I've left everything on it. I guess it wasn't stored online ?

If it's not under "My Library" at the top left and you don't have any old back-ups from your harddisk (note that the Zotero library would have been backed up as part of a regular hd backup), then I'm sorry to say we can't help.

Yes. ;)
Is there an extension for TOR browser ? Or Should we use Firefox ?

Because new version of Zotero will be only standalone then my recommendation is standalone version.
