Zotero not allowing me to attach PDFs
Hello, normally when I use PubMed/Medline, I will select a journal article/open the abstract and click on the "save to zotero" option in the top right corner of my Firefox browser. The journal article not only saves to Zotero, but automatically has attached to it a "PubMed entry". I can additionally drag and drop PDFs to the journal article in Zotero.
Nothing appears to have changed in my Zotero preferences, but when I save PubMed articles to Zotero now, the "PubMed entry" attachment no longer appears, and I am not able to attach any PDFs.
Any help/recommendation would be appreciated.
Thank you very much,
Katie

And you are unable to attach PDFs for any article, and not just the ones created from PubMed, right?
I tried this item and it saved to Zotero with a copy of the PubMed page:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27639470
Sure, the link I saved to Zotero is: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27626523. And yes, the Zotero icon in Firefox says, "Save to Zotero (PubMed)", and I am unable to attach PDFs for any article.
Hi Adam,
It is under a group library/collection.
Thank you both,
Katie
I am not sure if this will work, but you can try unchecking the sync attachment files for group libraries and retry. It is not a recommended solution, just a test. The recommended solution would be to increase the group storage quota (which only the group owner can do).
Right, @adamsmith ?
This is almost certainly group permissions as per my last post.

Thank you for your response, it was very helpful. I checked the Group Library settings as you recommended and it seems that because it was set as publicly accessible, I was not able to enable file storage. After changing the setting so that the library is for group members only, I was able to enable file storage. Thank you both for your help!
Best,
Katie
