Syncing only some of my files?

tkelly7 · October 1, 2009

Hi. I'm using Z 2.0 this semester for teaching and so have my personal library (79 mb) and the library for my class (21 mb) on my account. The problem is, 79+21=100 and I am now over quota. I would prefer to solve the problem for now by syncing only some of the files in my personal library to the server. I can't seem to find a way to do that. Any suggestions?

there's currently no way to do that.
Alternatives:
You can use links to files for some of your files instead of storing them inside Zotero.
You can buy space on a WebDAV server and use that - instead of Zotero file syncing - for storage.

Edit: Adam beat me to it - I should really remember to reload my pages if I open up a dozen forum posts and then leave my computer for an hour. The bit about MyDrive.ch might still be relevant though.

It's not exactly what you request (which AFAIK is not possible ATM), but what I would suggest is to sync your personal library using WebDAV, and use the Zotero server only for the 21MB group library. If you haven't got access to a WebDAV service through your institution, MyDrive.ch, which comes with 2GB free storage, comes recommended by several Zotero users.
