Understanding storage
Dear all,
I am confused about the storage of my files on the server.
I have both a subscription for 2Gig, as well as the possibility at my institute to use WebDAV. I am now exceeding my personal 2Gig limit, but have virtually unlimited space at the institute's WebDAV server.
However, when using the WebDAV server I have the same problem that my space limit is exceeded. I am wondering if I am not understanding Zotero's synching/storage. Does Zotero not store my documents in the WebDAV server after all?
I hope someone can explain!
Best wishes,
Stephen

Any attachments in group libraries will always and only sync to Zotero storage at this time.
To be clear, I just switched again to webdav, unable to sync fully. Can I purge without losing my library? Will there be a backup in case I screw this up?
Thanks,
Stephen

The group 'Equipe_Navarro' has reached its Zotero File Storage quota. Some files were not uploaded. Other Zotero data will continue to sync to the server.
The group owner can increase the group's storage capacity from the storage settings section on zotero.org.

I would like to keep my attachments in the final repository on the WebDAV. If those are found on the local computers they will be uploaded again?
So yes, I'd do purge storage to make sure your personal library doesn't use up any space on Zotero storage. But if you have more than 2GB in group attachments for groups you own _or_ if you're a member of a group owned by someone else who is out of storage, webDAV won't help.
I noticed that a lot of people have this need, do you have plans to overcome the technical problem?
I’m not a Zotero developer, so I can’t comment on whether linked file or WebDAV support for groups is technically feasible.
