How to replace Zotfile (sending pdfs to tablet & annotations)

Hi all,

I have used Zotfile to rename and relocate my PDFs to OneDrive, so I can access them from different computers.

Another important feature of Zotfile has been sending attachments to tablet (to a specific folder in OneDrive), uploading them to Squid and then saving them to be retrieved and renamed as OriginalName_marked back to Zotero, so that I have the original and annotated versions both as attachments.

Zotfile no longer works with Zotero 7, so what do you recommend as the best alternative for it? I remember setting this up a couple of years ago took me a considerable amount of time so I would like to hear recommendations and also if you can recommend a plugin that is likely to work in the future, too, so that I don't have to redo this soon.

Best wishes,

Soila

    Zotmoov and Attanger are the Zotfile-like plugins for Zotero v7, at least for moving PDFs as linked files when saved to Zotero. Neither originally committed to adding Send To Tablet functionality. But Zotmoov has recently added some basic Send To Tablet-like operations. And just this week a new plugin also doing that was released:
    https://github.com/zouyonghao/zotero-sync-to-tablet

    I don't know if those two plugins do anything at all to handle existing PDF annotations (stored in the Zotero database only, so not visible in an external PDF app) or new annotations added in an external PDF app on the tablet.
