Upgrade StorageFeature request: individual attachment-download-settings for libraries
I am currently using two libraries: a small personal library (shared between work-computer and private computer) and a large library from our office, shared among 10 Co-workers (and also synced between work and home-pc).
To save disk-space, I've decided to use the option, that only attachments I actually need/read are being downloaded from sync-server in the cloud. It's a great setting, as it really improves performance and saves much disk-space for my work-library.
However, for my personal library the workflow is different, and I would be very glad, if I could have a separate setting that would always download each attachment for each database-entry. I frequently take my private laptop on trips and would like to use it for reading and annotating pdfs. Currently I have to carefully check each entry to see, if the PDF is already downloaded for offline-usage or not and manually download all cloud-pdfs to the laptop.
So, a separate/individual attachment-download-setting for each library would totally make me happy :)
But I can also understand if this wish is too specific and not for the masses. Don't mind if it never get's implemented. Thanks for Zotero, it's awesome.

dstillmanWe're planning to add additional features for controlling how much local disk space is used in "as needed" file-sync mode, and I think there's a good chance we'll add group-specific options at that time.
