Zotero Linked Attachment Directory and Data Directory and Cloud Storage

kenne221
Hi,

I had a question regarding how to set up my Zotero to access it across multiple computers. I know from reading the forums I should not put my Data Directory on the cloud due to file corruption. So I set up Zotero synching and that works wonders to keep my library up to date. However, it doesn't allow me to access the PDF's across different computers. So I set up the Zotero Linked Attachment Directory on onedrive and manually moved in a couple hundred references. I can access those from any computer that I use Zotero on. Is there anyway to have this done automatically? I have over 2k folders within my Storage folder in the data directory that I would like to be able to switch as linked attachments so I can view the PDF's on any computer.

    You can look at ZotFile to do the moving automatically, yes.

    @kenne221: Just to be clear, though, this isn't the case. Zotero will sync all of your files across all of your devices — that's the point of Zotero syncing.

    A linked-file setup is much more complicated and error-prone than using stored files.
