You can just drag&drop to the local app (a feature to import entire folders & folder hierarchies of PDFs is also under active development, but not sure how soon that'll happen)
I've just started using Zotero after years with Mendeley. Zotero won't allow me to drag and drop files from my desktop to Zotero window, as I used to do with Mendeley. I have just restardted my computer and it still doesn't work Do you any clue what could fix this? thanks!
You're likely using "Import" -- that's not the right function; it's for importing metadata.
You can either drag&drop PDFs as I say above, or you can use "Store Copy of File" under the green + sign or "Attach Stored Copy of File" under the paper clip icon.

I am trying this on the Zotero app installed on my computer.
