Sync folder with cloud library

mjhill02
Is there a way to sync the contents of just one of the folders in my Zotero desktop library with my cloud library and then share it with a group? I have already created the folder X in the cloud, so I just need to find a way to upload the contents in the corresponding folder X on my desktop with the newly created folder X in the cloud.

Thanks in advance!

Best,
Matthew

    I'm not 100% sure I understand.
    What _is_ possible is to just drag one collection from your library to a group. That's simply by drag&drop and you need to do it in the Zotero software (Standalone or FIrefox add-on), it doesn't work online at zotero.org

    What _isn't_ possible is to selectively sync or selectively publish collections from "My Library".

    OK. I see. Great. I created a group. Are you saying that I can now draw a collection from my from my desktop Zotero (Firefox add-on) directly to the group in zotero.org? If I go to the group library, and try to drag the collection, e.g. to where it says "no items found" it doesn't work. Is there a specific place that you have to drag the collection to?

    Thanks.

    not quite. Once you have synced, the group will appear at the bottom left of your desktop Zotero. (Sometimes groups are collapsed - click the small triangle next to "Group Libraries" to show them). You can drag the collection from your personal library there--i.e. the whole thing happens in the Firefox add-on, no interaction with the online version.

    I think using ZotFile's "send to tablet" feature is what you want here.

    Got it. Thanks Adam. That worked great!
