Zotero and Box a tale of two computers
Hi,
I have two computers with Zotero installed. I would like to move all pdfs to one central location on my Box drive (cloud storage). Is there a mechanism for Zotero on both computers to automatically adapt to this change or do I have to manually re-point all symlinks to their respective pdfs?
Thank you!

Computer 1: 90% pdfs stored locally, 10% on Box drive (manually moved and hand relinked).
Computer 2: All pdfs on Box drive.
*Common pdfs folder on Box drive.
I am using FF connector with standalone Zotero installed on both computers.
By "stored locally" you mean "stored in Zotero's internal storage"?
Then, in the advanced tab of the Zotero preferences under files and folders, set the box folder as the base link for relative attachment links on both computers.
That should be all you need to do. Note that links only work for personal libraries, not for groups.
