I need to use Two different accounts and libraries

Dear everyone
I need to have two different zotero accounts, which I do actually, since I have the login and password to an account we share between colleagues, and I have mine I manage since 2005 or so. The problem is that I don't know how to switch from my zotero to the shared one in order to progress on the common article we are co-writing.
Can you help my in this matter ?
I tried to download a second zotero standalone on my computer but it was automatically updated with my personnal library...
Thank you so much in advance !
  • You can also try portable Zotero, https://github.com/pedrom34/ZoteroPortable,
    save two copies at two locations, the portable zotero save the profile and data in the installation directory, however, only one zotero instance could be run at the same time.
  • Also note that Group Libraries basically exist for this purpose, so rather than laboriously switching profiles you might try to stick with your personal profile and create a shared group library for the references shared between colleagues.

    Initially, I was really excited about the idea of groups, it seemed like such an amazing option... then I discovered that they don't have the same functionality as a personal library - most notably the ability to use linked attachments (dropbox).
