"a) Attached files are not transferred where the group doesn't allow attachments or where you don't have the required permission to add/edit files"
I am the creator and owner/administrator of a group and want to make some of the collections from My Library available in the group library. I tried the drag-and-drop method and sure enough, the collections in question from My Library were indeed copied. However, none of the (many) attachments were copied. What did I do wrong?
- Group name
- Description
- Disciplines
- Upload a new picture
- Group URL
- Enable comments
- Group type (it is set to Public, closed)
Plus there is a button for Delete and one for Transfer
That's it. No sign of anything related to file sharing.
PS: I run Zotero 4.0.29.19 for Firefox.
- Group type
- Library reading
- Library editing
- File editing
What's the name of the group?
@danstillman could you look at this?
Can you sync again, create an empty book item in the group, make sure it's selected, and check that menu again?
2. Have synced (more than once), crated an empty book item, selected it and checked it. The "Attach Stored Copy of File..." button is still greyed out.
But there's something not right here if this isn't working for you. Can you provide a Report ID after syncing?
@dstillman: I just submitted report ID D1064666861 after syncing.
