Can you upgrade storage for a group library not a specific Zotero account?

HISTMEDuOttawa · February 22, 2017

Using Standalone to create library for 2 researchers. We have a group library that we can all use but of course I'm out of storage. I'm only a part time research assistant and so need more storage but it cant be attached to my account. Can you get storage for a specific group library, not an account?

If the storage increase is for a specific account, how does it work if I still want to use Zotero Standalone to said group library?

Any help is appreciated!

The size/amount of storage is linked to the group owner's Zotero account. The group owner controls the status of members and what each member can do with/to group records.

So either the head researcher in your group should take ownership of the group and upgrade storage or you should make a new "lab account" that owns the group and storage, but isn't anyone's personal account (at least two people should have the password for this account). The latter option is useful because the lab won't lose access to the group owner as staff change.
