Customize sync settings for different computers with a linked account

I have Zotero on my office computer and my personal laptop; they are both linked to the same account. Some of my files are on the office computer; others on the laptop.

Since I'm running out of memory on my laptop, I would like to change the settings so that Zotero uploads files from my laptop to the office computer but doesn't download files from the office computer to the laptop. In other words, I want the files on my laptop to be available when I open Zotero on the office computer, but I don't need the files from the office computer to be transferred to my laptop.

Is there a way to accomplish this? In the preferences toolbar it only allows you to check the "sync" option which covers syncing both ways.
  • Under 'File Syncing' set it to Download files 'as needed' on your laptop. It will only download them if you try to open the attachment from Zotero on your laptop.
  • That is the solution -- many thanks!
