Migration to WebDAV

pbsorokin
Dear colleagues,

Currently my Zotero library is installed via Dropbox using the symbolic link. I would like to move my library to WebDAV server (Yandex.Disk). Could you please tell, how should I do it? I would like make this process as smooth as possible. Thank you!

    To be clear, you mean that you have a symbolic link between your Zotero storage folder and a Dropbox folder?

    If that’s the case, follow these steps:

    1. Set up your WebDAV server in Zotero’s Sync preferences and make sure it syncs without error.
    2. Delete the symbolic link (the storage folder is now syncing directly to the WebDAV server using Zotero).

    Thank you! Yes, I made symbolic link to storage folder: Dropbox\Zotero\storage
    So, you mean that setting up WebDAV server will automatically copy all files from storage folder to WebDAV? Great, thank you, I will try to do it!

    Yes, exactly.
