Is it possible to use Zotera solely as a web-based tool?

I'd like to avoid downloading documents to my computer because of space limitations. Is it possible to save documents only to the Zotero site?

Zotero isn't meant to be used solely as a web-based tool — for real work you really want to use the local program — but if you simply want to avoid downloading all files you can set it to download files on-demand in the Sync pane of the Zotero preferences.

(If you want a purely web-based tool for one-off bibliographies, have a look at ZoteroBib, though note that that's not meant for building up a persistent library as in Zotero.)
