Upgrade StorageNew laptop - having trouble syncing PDFs to new Zotero
Hi guys
I just upgraded my laptop to a new one and I'm having trouble getting the PDF attachments in my Zotero library to sync properly. On my previous laptop I was using Zotero 5.0 beta. I use box.com as my Web DAV to store the PDFs.
On the new one here are the steps I followed:
- I installed Zotero 4.0 and then realised it was the wrong version (!). At this point I had already synced the library. I then uninstalled Zotero.
- Installed Zotero 5.0 beta
- The library synced (or perhaps it just used the previous synced library), but PDF attachments did not open
- I uninstalled Zotero 5.0, and found the directory, and deleted that also. Pretty sure there was nothing Zotero left on the laptop (fresh install of windows)
- I reinstalled Zotero 5.0 again. This time the library was empty, and it synced from scratch. After it had finished, SOME PDFs were there?! But many are missing.
I followed the instructions regarding sync with a web DAV service, and the box.com storage system seems to be working right according to the instructions -- all the right files are there. Also on my old laptop, attachments still work okay. So I'm out of ideas. Any suggestions?
