    And can other people access my attachments from the Zotero *app*?

    My answer above is 10 years old. None of it still applies. Could you say what you are trying to do?

    OK, sorry, let me try again: if I upload an attachment to a (public) item in my library, the visitors of the zotero.org who are NOT signed in can see that the attachment is there but cannot download it.

    I wonder what happens to the signed-in users (other than me) who look at this item either at zotero.org or at the Zotero standalone application. Unfortunately I failed to extract this information from the Zotero documentation.

    Let me give a specific example: once you are logged in, can you download the attachment from https://www.zotero.org/artur-s/items/itemKey/WGFJR4RH , either from zotero.org or from the standalone application?

    Many thanks in advance, Artur

    You cannot upload any attachments to the public group. Attachments are allowed only in private groups.

    This is a public personal library, though, so in that case:
    1. No, other users cannot access your attachments* and
    2. There is no way other people can access your library through the app. You can't sync with someone else's account. You'd have to use groups for that

    * the only exception to this is the My Publications feature.
