Migrating from one Zotero account to another,

susielee.on
edited September 15, 2020
Hello,

I created a new Zotero account using the new email address from my workplace. I want to migrate from my old Zotero account to this new account, so that I can store all my files via the institute subscription to Zotero that I my workplace has.

Can you please point out where I can find information on how to do this? Is it correct that I will have to 'export library' (from the File menu) and select notes and files?

Thank you very much!

Best,
Susie

    Don't do that.

    Delete the new account and just add your work email address to the old account.

    Thank you for your reply!

    I have now deleted the new account. In the Settings of my old account, should I delete the old email address, or just add the new email address?

    Best,
    Susie

    Add the new address, and then delete the old one.

    Hi!

    Reviving a long-dormant discussion to confirm that the solution is still valid. I have a main Zotero account attached to my personal email address, but I now have access to unlimited Zotero storage through my university. I created a new Zotero account with the university email and was trying to figure out how to migrate my personal database to the new account.

    But if I understand this thread, all I need to do is delete the new Zotero account with my university email address, add my university email address to my personal Zotero account (making that the primary email), and I should have the unlimited Zotero storage without needing to migrate anything?

    Thank you!

    @gtouloumes: Correct (though it doesn't matter whether the address is the primary address).
