In the midst of synchronizing zotero stopped working - none of my files are showing and synchronization is stuck in a loop.

    You're getting an out of memory error related to full-text content syncing.

    I wouldn't expect this to happen unless you had an extremely large file in your library. Can you provide a Debug ID (different from a Report ID) for this?

    The debug ID is D574217920

    Does this happen if you try syncing immediately after restarting your computer? Are you low on disk space?

    It wasn't a single file but I was dragging over a large quantity of pdfs all at once. What do I need to do to get this resolved?

    Zotero auto syncs after restart and it does the same thing. I have plenty of disk space.

    Thank you.

    How much RAM do you have in this computer? And to clarify, this happens after restart with no other programs open?

    As a temporary workaround, you can disable full-text content syncing in the Sync pane of the Zotero preferences, but we'll want to figure out why this is happening so that you can leave that enabled.

    Could you also provide another Debug ID for this? It'd be good to see if this is happening in the same place every time.
