Request ability to disable syncing of attachments to group library
Hi,
I am working collaboratively using Zotero on a research project, and I would like to disable the attachment syncing through the cloud rather than through the app. This is because I don't want people accidentally uploading documents, which could cause copyright issues.
Regards,
Anna.

Library Reading
Anyone on the internet
Any group member
Who can see items in this group's library?
Library Editing
Any group members
Only group admins
Who can add, edit, and remove items from this group's library?
File Editing
Any group members
Only group admins
No group file storage
Who can work with files stored in the group? Public Open groups cannot have file storage enabled.
When I set File Editing to No group file storage, I am unable to edit any of the entries anymore.
If you can't edit files, that would be as described and you'd have to describe a bit more who should and who shouldn't be able to do this.
=====
You no longer have file editing access for the group ‘Atom_Probe_Research_Index’, and files you’ve changed locally cannot be uploaded. If you continue, all group files will be reset to their state on zotero.org.
If you would like a chance to copy modified files elsewhere or to request file editing access from a group administrator, you can skip syncing of the group now.

I would like
(1) the group admins to be able to edit the tags on each record, and
(2) for people who have access to the group library to be able to attach their own pdfs locally but not sync these attachments with the cloud.
Given the potential for confusion that a setting where every group member has different attachments would be, I don't think that will be added, even if it's technically possible (which I don't know).
Preferences > Sync > File Syncing > Sync attachment files in group libraries using Zotero storage (uncheck)
I guess I'll just have to tell the group admins to make sure this box is unchecked.
