ZotFile & Mac OS Big Sur is not working

steg009 · November 18, 2020

Hello everyone.

I updated to Big Sur, Zotero is working fine in Word but ZotFile no.

In Zotero>Sync>unchecked sync attachment files in My Library using Zotero.
In ZotFile>General Settigs>Location of files>Custom Location>Google Drive>My Folder.

I tried to attach the pdf in both ways: right click>Add attachment and using the attachment button, but nothing happens.

Am I missing something?

Thanks

Any update on this? I was planning to update to Big Sur during this Christmas break, but if ZotFile breaks I need to wait...

Zotfile is not working! I tried everything, no way! It is not working!

We can't really provide support for ZotFile here, but I'm not sure why Big Sur would have any effect on ZotFile — the OS version really should be irrelevant.

If you're having trouble, can you provide a Debug ID for an operation that doesn't work, and explain exactly what you're doing and what's not working?

I downloaded the beta version of Zotero, uninstalled the previous one. Then I created the two new folders: a) the Source Folder and b) LocationFiles in my Drive.

Now it's working. My library is small so I didn't have many PDFs to relocate.

Hoping this could help you
