syncing zotero db to local directory

Jimmy2027
Hi,

Is there a way to sync the zotero library to a local folder such that it has the same structure than my zotero libraries?

I don't want this folder to replace the zotero db, I want it to synchronize with it.
It would be great to sync the db to a dropbox folder for example to easily access the zotero documents on any machine.

    The easiest way to do this, of course, is to just use Zotero file storage and sync and access the files online (or on a synced app) on any machine.

    You can use ZotFile to generate linked files based on your collection structure, but that does involve a number of quirks (doesn't always happen automatically, files deleted in Zoteor aren't deleted, currently doesn't work with the beta version). http://zotfile.com/

    hmm yeah I'm currently using zotfile to "Send to Tablet" but that's not ideal.

    I will have a look at https://github.com/urschrei/pyzotero to see if I can automate a syncing of the db to a folder.
