File syncing between 2 computers

gapra2
Hi,

I used to work on a laptop and my local zotero for few years. I use zotero online library and automatic syncing to have a back up of my library.

A month ago my laptop broke and I stop using it while waiting for the reparation. Since then I work on an other computer (computer B). I downloded my onlne library on my computer B and start working on this computer. I added, deleted and moved references in my library on computer B + add new PDF.

Few days ago I realised that PDF from my laptop (computuer A) were not all synced in my online library and my computer B because my data storage was full.

How could I take all my PDF to the computer B witout loosing data?
If I open my local library on computer A and purchase more online storage, automatic syncing with online library will delete my work of the last few weeks...
If I replace my local library of computer B with my library of computer A, I will loose my work of the last few days...

(Don't hesitate to ask precisions : english is not my first language)

Thank you for your help

    No it won't. The whole point of syncing is to let you use multiple computers. If you use computer A, switch to computer B and make changes, and then go back to computer A, it obviously doesn't wipe out all your recent changes. It syncs them to computer A.

    Only explicit deletions are synced.
