Does native Zotero integration on Boox supports WebDAV sync?

[Split from Available for beta testing: Zotero for Android]

PhD student here, been using Zotero for years and now i'm considering an eink tablet because i hate reading papers on LCD screens but can't possibly print everything i'm supposed to read. I've been considering a Boox tablet now that they have native Zotero integration.

However I couldn't get a clear picture (reading through other comments here) of whether the native Zotero integration on Boox supports WebDAV sync. I use Koofr's webDAV service to sync all the files in my library so without that it's a deal breaker for me.

Would anyone know whether the Boox zotero app/integration allows for WebDAV sync?

Thanks -- and apologies if this was answered before and I missed it!

    Hope not too late. I brought a Boox Notex5 device and find there's no native webdav sync. I'm also trying to find a best way to sync all my papers and books.

    The Zotero android app supports webDAV and works with Boox devices

    Hi adamsmith, I tried it, but tbh it seems that the current Zotero app does not support opening PDFs from third-party software. As you know, its user experience is much worse than the official PDF reader of Boox.
    I am trying several new methods, such as creating a group and dragging the PDF file to be read into the group every time to use Zotero official sync, or using some third-party app. I have found that a app called Zotpaper can easily download attachments to files in the Zotero library through webdav, but whether it can do a good job of annotating and returning them is still to be tested. My test results are negative, maybe I made a mistake somewhere.
