Remove downloaded (local) PDF files, re-download on demand?

aasmund.skjaeveland
I'd like to remove all PDFs from my local zotero library and keep them in the cloud. Can I simply delete the local files and have them re-download automatically when I try to open them?

    If by local files you mean deleting the PDFs in your file system, not in Zotero, the answer is yes, that'll work.
    If you delete an item (including an attachment) through Zotero, the delete will obviously sync and it'll disappear from the cloud, too.

    Yes, removing the files from my file system is what I meant. Thank you. Tested it now, seems to work fine.

    (Sounds like this is clear to you, but make sure you have sync set to "as needed" in the sync tab of the preferences)
