Manually sync iPad library to windows and vice-versa (selectively)
Hey,
I am not sure if this is a feature that I can use (I don’t know how to) or if I can make a feature request.
I have the zotero beta on my iPad, and loving it with the recent updates. I think I would really like to start using it actively rather than once in a while reference when needed. My library is on my windows PC, and its getting bigger. I haven’t opted for the larger storage and not sure if its worth it (considering I only use it on one device).
Now I probably won’t need my iPad for all projects and archives, mostly for current work. If I am saving articles on my iPad, or on my laptop I might want to read and annotate on either device. Prefer longer articles on my iPad tbh. I would like to then sync my iPad to my laptop once in a while, to update changes I made every couple of days, or whenever I want it. And have the master database on my laptop, kind of like making my laptop a FTP server.
since my iPad also has limited storage (student budget theme), I would only like to have selected libraries on my device at a time, and be able to manage that.
I do have unlimited cloud storage, and would prefer a way to use that. My university library suggest using the google drive folder as the sync one, but I am scared of it being corrupted and also not being able to use it as a group. If there’s a workaround I would be happy to try it out.
I want to know if there’s any way I can do this, or if not, then consider this a feature request.
cheers!

The ipad app does support full downloads now, and I have been able to download some articles hence the question. And WebDAV is an appealing option but unfortunately has similar issues with group sync.
Thanks
