Synchronization

gruenzeugslerner
Hi!
Is it possible to deactivate the automatic synchronization problem-desolver?
My synchronization needs hours.... it never ends! And I'm neither uploading anything new nor deleting something or anything like this.
The only thing I did was to create subfolders and to sort my stuff.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers,
Sebastian

    The subfolders have to be synchronized also, i think. So, subfoldering may mean to make something new, from my opinion.

    Well, that might be. The only problem in my opinion is, that such a synchronization needed seconds to maybe 5 minutes until it was synchronzied, when zotero 4.0 was used. Now with zotero 5.x the synchronization runs hours. So something probably runs not as smooth as is should.

    How many entries does your library have? Where are the citations stored?

    With Zotero 4 I had one last longing synchronization. I switched off my computer, restarted, and all was fine & done... maybe a risk, but it suceeded.

    I have 1326 entrys in my library which are stored.... I don't know exactly. I think somewhere in between locally and at the zotero servers. I'm synchronizing between my working computer and my home computer which are 1 km away from each other.

    Thanks for the tip!

    Synchronization is 5.0 should generally be much faster than 4.0 — instantaneous in most cases. If a sync is taking hours, something is wrong.

    Are you still having trouble? If so, 1) provide a Report ID and 2) what does it say when you hover over the sync icon?
