Team importing and Group Libraries
We are migrating a team of 10 researchers to Zotero. Our plan is to keep all references and attachments in a Group Library, for which the owner has unlimited storage. According to our understanding, this means that the other team members can use a free account, assuming that they move their references to a Shared Library.
However, when they migrate their references, there is no option to migrate to a Shared Library. This means that automatically they migrate to My Library and if on a free account are quickly out of storage space.
What will happen in this instance? Will Zotero allow users to go over their limit before they can move the references to a Group Library or will it stop importing the attachments after their limit has been reached?
Advice is appreciated.

adamsmithThe storage limit is only for syncing, not for using Zotero, which is a local-first application. So they can migrate (from Mendeley? I think that's the only thing you can't migrate to a group directly) any size library and then move item/collections to the shared group.
