Import full Mendeley library

I use Mendeley Desktop reference manager, and I would like to switch to Zotero. In my Mendeley library I have a large number of PDFs, annotated using Mendeley, in a nested folder structure.

I would really like to switch to Zotero, but it may be too difficult to move everything manually, and I don't want to lose all my annotations and folder structure.

Would it be possible to import my full library from Mendeley?
  • Mendeley makes this pretty hard for any other program to do. Here is a set of scripts that one user wrote to export from Mendeley to Zotero while maintaining annotations and folder structure: https://github.com/rdiaz02/Adios_Mendeley
