Upload accepted - waiting for sync server
This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Instead of commenting here, you should start a new discussion. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
How long is reasonable to wait for a restore to server (about 300mb)? I wanted to change my username, so set up a new account. I waited for about 4 hours for the restore to server, but nothing happened.
An update--the sync wasn't as bad as I thought. I thought I was only syncing to my group folder, but it was also doing a first-time sync on the library (I guess it's automatic if you want to group sync)? My individual library was ~1200 records, and it took about 3 hours. Subsequent syncs have taken a few minutes.
(Am syncing a second machine, after having finished with the first one recently.)
Syncing has been interrupted by two error messages, and hanging. "Databases of this size can not yet be synced." (No. 291356608.) And the same complaint about a tag being too long as appeared on the other machine a couple of days ago -- although this time clicking on the arrow did not give the opportunity (as before) to split or delete the tag; instead, Firefox hanged. (67146802.)
Now the arrow has stopped spinning, and gives the message "Last sync - not yet synced." The error message reads: "Databases of this size cannot yet be synced. Please check back soon. (Report ID: e7f95b98)". There then a different error number in red, which vanished.
I see that the old tag problem was included in the list of reports. I'd delete the tag if I could -- but there is no opportunity for that this time.
1. The database does seem to get updated anyway.
2. But now all the folders have been duplicated: there are now two copies of each folder. (How can I consolidate them?)
3. At a fresh start-up I get the same error message about the database being too large.

Any ideas? I tried resetting the whole sync process, but it doesn't seem to have helped.
Thanks!
I'm getting the same kind of problem. The green arrow keep spinning with the message "Sync from Zotero server: getting updated data from sync server". I have a fairly large library of about 430 items. While I do understand that it is normal that the first time I sync it should be longer, I find it strange that every other time I try to sync (after adding a few items) it's still very long. I might be doing something wrong, just can't figure out what it is.
Since my library took more than the 100megs allowed by default by Zotero Server, I also use another WebDav application. I was wondering if it was possible to sync only with that application and not the Zotero server? Since I don't really need it, I guess there is no point in clogging the server.
Thanks!
First of all, thank you very much for Zotero.
I have the same problem "waiting for sync server" for at least 30 minutes, not finished yet. My library has 2296 items, but only 23 changed since las sync.

I'm not very good with informatic so I hope that this makes some kind of sense.
I hate to sound mean because I really do love Zotero, I am just curious about the syncing issues.
Additionally, if extra space were bought by the customer (me) would this clear up the syncing issues? Or would I still experience the same problem?
Thanks!
Thanks Dan for the great support!
I've had this issue for the last 48 hours. But literally as a type this it seems to be working, perfectly. Thank you for Zotero.
I looked at my storage settings and I had used 89.7% of my 100 MB quota, yesterday I bought 1 GB in the zotero file server hoping that this would solve the problem, but I am out of luck.
The arrow has been spinning for more than 2 hours now and my library is less than 200 MB. Any comments?
If this doesn't work for you, start a new thread.
Gotta love zotero! :D
