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.
  • The 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.
