Getting a webdav solution up and running for a private group

torillbull · August 28, 2009

I wonder if anybody could give me - as a complete novice to Zotero - some guidance on how to share a group library via webdav. The question is which webdav solution we need: when we establish a webdav service with an external provider (free or pay), do we specify that we need access for one user - the group? Or do we need to ask for access for all group members?

Webdav is not enabled for group file storage. However, in the very near future a new storage solution for groups will be rolled out that will be much easier to work with.

Thanks!

So, how does one share group libraries per today, does anybody have any experience here? We need a group of ca 10 persons (and potentially more) to have access to the same library, at as low a price as possible as we are doing poverty research... :-)

If everyone's new to Zotero and you're in a hurry, you might try sharing one master account (i.e. having 10 clients that all sync to one Zotero account). That bypasses the Groups functionality entirely, and a downside is that all share one library. I've never tried it with more than 4 clients syncing together, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

However, the newest update is probably worth the wait ('in a few days', 'in the near future', 'very soon', 'by the middle of the week') because there will be improvements to group and storage features.
