Cloud storage, Google Drive

Rubyx · June 23, 2021

Hi! I read that is possible to create a new account at Zotero and to store the Zotero data directory in a cloud storage folder such as Google Drive (in order to have 15 Gb rather than 300 Mb). Is this true? I know that to make this in an already existed account can corrupt the database is because I want to try with a new account.

store the Zotero data directory in a cloud storage folder

No, you very much can't do this. You will corrupt your database.

Thanks, dstillman. But, this can occur too if I created a new database?

Yes.
