convert webdav storage to Zotero Storage

walker9
I have my files stored on a webdav server. my sync has been set to download as needed, so the local contents are much less then the contents of the webdav server. I wish to switch to Zotero Storage. I am looking for a way to download all my webdav files to local storage on my computer so that they will then sync to zotero storage. Please advise the best way to move all webdav files to zotero storage. I am on zotero 7. Normal sync does not seem to downloading files from webdav unless I click on a specific item.

    I might add that in the Sync section, I have the webdav now set at Download files at sync time. This does not work, so must be a bug in Zotero 7. Sync only seems to sync data with zotero.org and doesn't download files from webdav.

    Can you provide a Debug ID for a sync?

    After that, try using Reset File Sync History (and nothing else!) from the Sync → Reset section of the Zotero settings. If it still doesn't work after that, we'd want to see another Debug ID for the first sync after running that.

    That's not a Debug ID.

    That synced files it seems. However, the size of the local file folder now is 1.88 GB whereas the size of the webdav folder is 3.02GB. Why the difference?

    Now the local storage folder is 4.88 GB, so I assume all is there.

    So, now I just purchase Zotero, change the sync to Zotero storage and it should work?
