Upgrade StorageZotero 5.0 webDAV sync
Hi
Company has been using Zotero with a webDAV server for a couple of years but the employee who set it up has now left without much documentation. They've been using Zotero 4 on Firefox from a patched .xpi file, when we tried to remove and re-add this add-on it's saying it cannot be added due to the .xpi file not being signed/verified in the add-on store. So we have installed Zotero 5 on to the PC to use this instead, however, when we go in to the preferences on the Sync tab there is no option to configure with webDAV. Only a username/password option which I believe is for syncing to Zotero.org.
Have had a look through the config editor but cannot see any options to show this setting.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

adomasven Zotero TeamYou have to sign in with a Zotero account to use WebDAV syncing as your metadata is still synced on zotero.org, only files and attachments are stored on a WebDAV server

dstillman Zotero TeamAnd to be clear, this hasn't changed — you've always needed to sync data with the Zotero servers to use file sync. The dialog is just presented a bit differently in 5.0 to clarify that there's no point in setting file sync options until you've set up data syncing.
