How to synchronize all settings of Zotero, including installed plugins?

dbcoffee
I have installed Zotero on two computers and synchronized the data through a personal NAS. However, each time I reinstall or set up a plugin, I need to configure them separately on both computers to keep them consistent. How can I synchronize the settings, plugins, etc. of Zotero so that they remain the same? For example, if I install a style plugin on computer A, I want the same style plugin to be present when I open Zotero on computer B.

    What you're asking is something like this https://github.com/shanalikhan/code-settings-sync

    Unfortunately, couldn't find a plugin in GitHub, maybe in the future we will have it

    Hi, I actually built a plugin that does exactly this. It syncs your Zotero preferences, installed plugins, citation styles, and Quick Copy settings between devices using Zotero's built-in sync.

    It's called Zotero Settings Sync: https://zotero-settings-sync.pages.dev/

    Two buttons in Zotero Settings: "Sync to Cloud" and "Apply from Cloud". No extra account needed. Works with Zotero 8.

    I'm currently running a user study for my university project, so if you try it I would really appreciate filling in the short questionnaire (about 5 min) linked on that page.

    Thanks!
