How to sync a group library to zotero app

davidparks21
On the web we have a group library which I want to sync to my newly installed zotero app (running on linux).

I'm able to sync folders under my account ok, so sync works. In Preferences for Data Sync I can see two libaries to sync: "My Library & Feeds" and "mysharedlibrary", both are checked.

When I sync I only see my folders show up under "My Library" in the zotero app.

How do I get the shared library to show up in the zotero app?

    You really just sync. That's it.

    See Changes Not Syncing for the possible reasons that might not be happening and the information we'd need to troubleshoot it further.

    Do you see the group library when you follow the "Web Library" link on top of this page or is it accessible only via a different URL? If latter, then you might not be a member of that group, in which case group owner needs to add you first, before it shows in Zotero.

    EDIT: just re-read original message and realized "mysharedlibrary" shows in the list in sync preferences in Zotero so please disregard my comment.

    Quirky, apparently closing and opening Zotero fixed the problem, I came back to it a couple days later and now I see the group library synced up as expected.
