updating groups with pdf

Hello,

I recently updated my storage. I would like for the pdfs that are in my library to be copied over to my shared collection so my colleague can sync them to their computer. Does this happen automatically when I increase my storage? The pdfs are in my library but not my shared collection.

Thanks for your help.

Your own library and group libraries are separate (see https://www.zotero.org/support/groups#zotero_groups ), so no, your personal references (and PDFs) would not be available for your colleague unless you copy them manually to the shared library.

For future reference, it might be useful to note that collections in Zotero are a different concept https://www.zotero.org/support/collections_and_tags#collections
