remote storage location
Can you add the ability to store my collection on a remote location? For instance via ftp or http. It would be nice since I work on multiple computers for my editing and I would like to reuse the items. I have found that when I choose to export/import, it doesn't remember them properly.
Box.net currently has plugins for MS Office, Open Office, and Acrobat (plus more) and one for Firefox bookmark synching ( http://www.box.net/apps ).
Files stored on box.net can be edited using online applications ( http://www.box.net/info/document-editing )

Could you expand a bit on the "Remote collections do work, but they're not officially supported" bit of the message?
Is this a matter of simply backing up the appropriate folder to a remote server somewhere? Or is there some other way of doing this?
yours,

and lboccia:
Remote file storage works (but is unsupported) today & the developers have said several times that a web server is coming.
I happy that is going to be available a solution soon

A safer option with dropbox (assuming you are using Zotero 2.0) is to synchronise your database (data only, not attachments) with the Zotero server, and keep only the storage folder on dropbox, using symlinks/junction links pointing towards the dropbox folder from where Zotero is expecting the storage folders to be. This solution is described here. Of course this is only necessary if you want attachment syncing in addition to bibliographic data syncing - otherwise just use the Zotero server sync.
The "official" way to sync attachments is to use either WebDAV or Zotero File Storage for file sync (Zotero File Storage is free up to 100MB). For webDAV service recommendations see this thread.
