Moving all files

eraleks

Hi!

I am aware that many people have asked about this topic before me, but I can't seem to find any answers really solving the issue.

I want to move all my PDF articles (and other files) from the standard Zotero library to my Dropbox. However, this needs to be done in a way that the files paths are updated so that Zotero will continue to work as normal.

I see many people mentioning the Zuitilo addon. I have installed this, but I can't find any information on how to use it to change the files paths.

I have now made a copy of the entire "storage" folder from the Zotero Data Directory on my Dropbox so that the relative paths will be the same.

How do I tell Zotero to change all the file paths to this new location?

You want ZotFile, not Zutilo.

Thanks for your quick reply. I installed ZotFile as well. However, I have the same issue as with Zutilo, there are really no usable instructions on how to use it. The only thing I can find on the web site is what it can do, but not how it can be done.

Do you know the procedure?
