Storage Folder Manager

teson.nguyen
Do we have feature like "Storage Folder Manager" which I can adjust and organize the Zotero Library folder offline?

    Check out the Zotfile plugin.

    Thank you, Zotero saves its library in a way which is difficult to browse with explorer. All other features are perfect. WIll Zotfile works out? I'll try.

    That is what Zotfile does.

    Hi bwiernik,

    I tried and it doesn't work quite right. Zotero saved the pdf under my specific folder but the sub-folder is coded randomly in such
    'Zotero Library\storage\86PWSHTA'

    I would prefer to make the '86PWSHTA' into 'Gravity survey', for example. Do you have any suggestion?

    Open Zotfile Preferences in the Gear menu in Zotero. On the General Settings tab, under Location of Files, choose Custom Location and pick where you would like the PDFs stored (don't put it in Zotero's storage folder with the random number strings). You can define a sub folder structure using the text box.

    So to clarify this a bit more:
    ZotFile lets you create a folder structure with attachments outside of Zotero's Storage folder. It is not possible to reorganize the storage folder itself.
