Syncing files: does not download files
Hello,
I am trying to sync my collection. I have been able to get my collection, but not the attachments. I set up my WebDAV account successfully, but above the settings I get:
Please note: Attachment files in group libraries are not currently synced
But I do not have a group library, it is a personal one. Does anyone have an advice on how to force Zotero to fetch my files? I am running Zotero 2.0b3 but the files were uploaded with an earlier 1.5 version.

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Instead of commenting here, you should start a new discussion. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
If you send debug output for a sync attempt to support@zot....org, referencing this thread, we'll take a look.
zotero(3): Storage sync is not enabled
This is consistent with the settings pane that says that file sync is not enabled for group libraries. There is no check box to enable file sync.
I will forward the complete output of a server sync as you asked.
We'll fix that.
In the meantime, you can go to about:config in the Firefox address bar, search for extensions.zotero.sync.storage.enabled, and make sure it's set to "true" by double-clicking.
Thanks for letting us know.

P.S. Thanks for all your work! Zotero makes research seem painless.
I've spent most of tonight trying to set up file syncing. Ended up using pywebdav on my home computer because I couldn't get mod_dav working, then when I had dav working, i couldn't figure out how to get zotero to sync the files
Still, the pain is worth the benefit! Good luck on getting it all ironed out for the release.
