Upgrade StorageAbandoning symlinks to use Zotero Cloud Storage - best practices
Hello,
I have used a third-party cloud storage to use Zotero across PCs for years and have been quite happy. (This is what I used, but with GDrive: https://remembereverything.org/syncing-zotero-with-dropbox-and-several-computers/)
Now, I would like to switch to Zotero's cloud storage.
How do I move all my references + files to Zotero's cloud service without creating duplicates?
Thank you!

dstillman Zotero Team@nettra: Or, wait, if you actually mean that you're using a symlink, not linked files, then you would just delete the symlink and move the actual 'storage' folder back inside your Zotero data directory.
