The base directory shouldn't be in GDrive, but how about the data directory (PDfs)?

In fact, check this: https://zotez2.ezbio.net/index.php?p=blog&id=15

This website guides you to set up your data in Gdrive.

Am I missing something?

@Bourde: You have it backwards. It's the data directory that can't be in cloud storage.

That page is totally wrong and irresponsible and should be taken down.

@Bourde: Please don't post to multiple threads on the same issue — it's disruptive and makes it harder for us to help anyone.

If you don't understand any of this, you should use stored files with Zotero Storage or WebDAV.

Apologies.
