Zotero and Dropbox

gbarendt · June 25, 2009

Has anyone run into trouble using Zotero with Dropbox? I've been pretty careful to have only one instance of Firefox running at a time, but I seem to have lost a night's work. I actually don't even see a revision of the Zotero database in Dropbox to reflect that work - am I correct that when I close Firefox zotero creates the zotero.sqlite.bak file and then saves my work to zotero.sqlite? Has anyone else had trouble or advice?

Is there any reason why you're not running 2.0 and using the Zotero server?

Dropbox works just fine for me.

Haven't used the Zotero server because 1.5 didnt' seem to work well. Dropbox was a much easier alternative for me.
