Zotero Chrome Extension - Where does it save?/Possible to save in Group Library?

aklug87

I added the Chrome extension for easy downloads on my work desktop. The notification I received said the book was added to Zotero ("saving to zotero.org, Google Books link") but I don't know where it is and can't find it. Where should I look?

For my personal laptop, I am able to choose which folder it uploads to, but it is limited to my personal library instead of the group library. Is there a way to upload to the group library?

I am having the same issue. It is not saving anywhere. Some help on this would be nice. When I try to save a PDF, same thing, does not save anywhere.

@aklug87: If it says "Saving to zotero.org", it's saving to your online library on this site. It gives you a warning before doing that, and you have to agree to it before it'll happen. You want to start Zotero and make sure that the Zotero Connector can talk to it:

For my personal laptop, I am able to choose which folder it uploads to, but it is limited to my personal library instead of the group library.

Does the group show up in your local copy of Zotero? If not, see Changes Not Syncing. If so, make sure you have write access to the group. (You can test by just trying to create an item in the group manually from within Zotero.)

@acnovak: If you're also seeing "Saving to zotero.org", see above. If something else is happening, start a new thread, provide an example URL where you're having trouble, and let us know exactly what's happening.

Thank you! It is working now!
