Upgrade StorageDragging items from My Library to Group Library
I gather from this thread that moving things between individual and group libraries is currently limited, e.g., only individual items (i.e., not collections/subcollections) can be copied between libraries, and that notes, snapshots and other attachments will not be transferred but will have to be recreated from scratch.
Just wondering if expanding this was something in the works.
I'm thinking in terms of using Zotero as a tool for collaborative legal research. What I'd like to be able to do is do my own research on a subject, keeping track of it in 'My Library' as a subcollection, and when its ready to share, drag the entire subcollection item over to the group library for others to access. Sort of like using My Library as a staging area.

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Instead of commenting here, you should start a new discussion. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
You are also right about attachments. Snapshots and other attached files do not transfer when you drag items into a group collection. The principle reason for this is that groups do not currently have file storage associated with them. When group file storage is enabled you will have the ability to carry attachments along with item info when you drag them into groups.
