not sync a group on one or more computers

dmk
Hi,

I am a member of a group that uses lots of storage space. The problem is that I use one computer where I need zotero for citing references, but I don't need to have access to that particular group, and in particular I don't need access to the attachments. Is there a way to tell zotero to not sync that group on that computer? Or do I have to remove myself from the group on all computers?

Thanks,
David

    In the Sync pane of the Zotero preferences, you can set it to download group files as needed, so it will only download group files that you try to open. There's currently only one setting for all groups, so you can't set just that group to on-demand download. There's also not currently any way to delete local files that have already been synced, though you can always do Show File and delete the folders manually. In a future version there'll be a way to delete attached local files through the Zotero interface while leaving the items intact.

    Hi,

    Thanks for taking the time to respond. In finally decided to wide clean my zotero installation and restart, this time with the "download on demand" option checked. That has worked quite well. The option to delete already downloaded local files would be a great addition though...

    Thanks,
    David
