PDF sync
Hi all,
i have a general question (may be i missed something). I am playing around with zotero_sync. How do i get zotero to sync also the attachments made to an database entry? Neither snapshots nor attachements of seems to be avaiable if i log into a different account of my PowerBook and try to sync the library.
Do i miss something ?

In the future we will also offer a storage service based on Amazon S3 for Zotero users.
how do I go about getting zotero to work with jungledisk/amazon s3 ?
"You should be able to use http://localhost:2667/ if you only have one bucket. You can find the exact URL for any bucket using the Bucket menu, 'Open Local Web Interface.'"
Please let us know how it works out for you.
Is there a way to re-create my snapshots automatically (since zotero stores the URLs)?
The Sync pane can probably be clarified to indicate that only metadata is synced via the Zotero Sync Server, however.
I would like to use the file sync feature, but I can't.
I've set up a WebDav folder with my University hosting's service. Zotero tells me it's ok ((https://www.mywebsite/myid/zotero/with username and password, I get: "File storage is successfully set up"). That's ok.
Now, how do I tell Zotero that one entry corresponds to a specific file on the server? When I want to add a link to the file, I have the normal Finder dialog (Mac OS 10.5 btw), and no way to add a url.
If I do a direct link in Firefox (https://www.mywebsite/myid/zotero/folder/file.pdf), it wants to download it and can't open it right in the browser (wich I don't want it to do anyway).
So, how do I tell zotero to sync with "https://www.mywebsite/MYID/zotero/folder/file.pdf" for each file, since my WebDav server is properly set?
Thanks,

Then, how do I tell zotero to put the files on the server? (the initial put) It is set up correctly, but it didn't put anything on the server (about 18MB of pdfs, I have 200MB capacity).
Thanks
By the way, the Sync function (for the metadata) works perfectly, great work !
Thanks for your patience and advises.

So as a note from a naive user - I could have benefited from more information on what you mean when you say WebDAV, what a WebDAV server does, why it is necessary, what metadata is and what Zotero keeps stored, etc. Not anything too technical.
I've been syncing metadata with Zotero 1.5b2 and now 2.0 for a while. In the last few days I've managed to get WebDAV set up with my university and have filled in the relevant boxes on the sync preferences and successfully verified that the WebDAV server works by clicking said button. However, when I visit the zotero folder on my WebDAV account, which Zotero successfully created, there are no files or folders visible there (this is several days later and after adding new files and syncing a fair few times). I assume there should be. Does this mean that the pdf syncing is not working? How can I tell whether my files are successfully backing up? And how would I access them if there was a disaster and I wanted to recover them?
Apologies if this has already been asked/answered. I've searched the forums, but could not find the answer. (It may have been buried in a sea of requests for which WebDAV services work.)
Thanks for this exciting tool, and thanks in advance for your help making it work! :-)

I am more and more impressed with this program. Will have to try the groups feature next.
Thanks again.
