Upgrade Storage"Subscribe to feed": what does it even mean?
Hi, I have been trying for months to subscribe to https://www.zotero.org/groups/2456014/global_cyber_troops_2020/library (on Mac, Firefox, with a bunch of privacy add-ons in Firefox but I disabled them in case they were bothering Zotero) to no avail. Can you please help me understand this process? The documentation is not helping with this problem. I really just want to import all these citations into my Zotero client so I can tag them myself, and it's not working.
I have clicked the ... button at the top of the table in the browser Zotero client, and seen the "Subscribe to feed" label pop up.
When I click "Subscribe to feed," my browser opens a dialog to download a file labeled only "top", with no extension on it. It is not clear what "top" is supposed to refer to.
When I open that file, it appears to be XML of the library... but maybe not the whole library? It doesn't seem large enough to contain every record (I could be wrong).
This is not what I'd expect. "Subscribe to feed" appears to give me a download of the library, not an option to follow the library. When I select "subscribe to feed" I would expect the group library to show up in my Zotero client on my desktop; it does not.
I tried importing the "top" xml file to the Zotero client, and the client rejects it as "not in a supported format." I don't get why Zotero exports a format it can't recognize as ingestable.
Help?

To add all items in the library to yours, use shift+click to select all (or a couple of hundred at a time) and simply drag them over to your library. Note that even if you see the attachment items, you don't actually have access to the attachments (and top level files) in the group, so those won't transfer.
CSV is no metadata format (it's just a random table that can hold about anything) and Atom XML isn't designed for bibliographic metadata, so those are just not expected to import.
And another small aside: While figuring this out, I thought joining the public group might do exactly that, which it turned out not to - I now have a pending membership for a group and do not seem to be able to cancel it myself. I realize that this is my mistake for not reading the documentation beforehand, but maybe at least an "Undo" button for people like me would be helpful :)
