Upgrade StorageI'm so confused about storing pdfs and accessing them from multiple machines
I have followed multiple tutorials about using the linked attachment base directory function, I've downloaded zotfile, and none of it is working the way I want.
What I want is a single folder (e.g., c:\home\papers) that has all of the PDFs associated with zotero. I can then back that folder up on google drive. I have the linked attachment base directory set to the correct file but when I import something to zotero it puts the pdf in the original storage directory. I feel like I am fundamentally misunderstanding something.

The Linked Attachment Base Directory setting is part of Zotero, not ZotFile, and it simply affects whether linked files are stored with absolute paths or relative paths. Zotero creates stored files by default.

For example, try these settings.
