Is it possible to sync group libraries only?
Is it possible to sync group libraries only? I keep the back up of my personal Zotero storage in another place, not on Zotero server, but I also want to join a group and be able to update that library.
Thanks!
Thanks!
But you can disable file syncing for your personal Zotero library and syncing your data doesn't affect your storage quota - not sure if that's your concern.
You can disable _file_ syncing selectively. http://www.zotero.org/support/sync for the distinction.
FWIW, using google drive or dropbox for sync is very much discouraged as it can cause other problems such as database corruption.
Anyway, thanks for the answer.
I'm trying to advocate a Zotero group between fellow teachers and I'm facing resistance due to the following scenario:
A few have already an excisting Zotero library on their computer but only use it locally and don't need/want to sync it with other computers and therefore don't need a storage plan to accomodate the size of their personal library. I would be the owner of the group and have an adequately sized storage plan to accomadate it.
If the other group members would now get a Zotero account, join the group and try to sync, I suppose some of them would get a warning that their personal library exceeds the maximum size for syncing. However, would the group library (owned by me) still sync correctly with them and would their personal library on their local computer stay intact? If yes, great...if no, any ideas other them all having to buy storage plans? Thanks

In regard to this I want to emphasize that for me personally the money I spent for my Zotero storage is some of the best money I spent and considering the whole package I find it very fair for what I get. However, as I try to advertise the benefits of grouping up to my colleagues, those potential 20 bucks per year seem to threaten some of them to die of starvation!! But now, nobody needs to worry…Thanks again
