Oh man, so simple. I didn't even try that. I just thought that would select the parent items too since they show up in the search, not just the tagged items. So simple... Thanks!!!!

Home computer, wedav by default sync everything. Got a new job with a new work computer. Set that up to download as needed. I didn't want to download all my personal attachments (several thousand) to my work computer, only the research articles I ne…

I considered that. I was wondering if there was a way, without setting up another webdav, to move those files to my personal computer and have them be accessible through zotero.
-
@adamsmith I thought about that, but I occasionally use zotero from my home computer and it would be nice to have the option of accessing all attached files. I tend to use zotero to help organize files on my computer relevant to a current project. I…

@mguycooper , sorry it took me a bit to get back to you, I was out of town over the weekend. I am by no means a Zotero expert. I was able to add Box as a dav server and everything synced fine (once I told it to, or turned on autosync). I had over 20…

Thanks @bwiernik . I read about that feature and it sounds like a useful tool. I plan to look more into it, especially before my next trip.

@adamsmith , I'm an idiot. How can the files sync if I don't have it on auto sync, and I didn't hit the sync button? Derrrrrrrrr... Seems to be working fine once I told it to sync. Now to let it finish (only 2,000 files to go!), go home and try i…

Awesome. I tried the newest beta version and that did not fix the issue. I then temporarily moved my storage to another file, synced my data, uninstalled Zotero (just as another measure of starting over), installed the latest version of Zotero, and …

@dstillman , my database is almost 4 GBs, mainly due to attachments. would i be able to use the zotfile app as mentioned by @gurdas and @bwiernik to move my attachments to a google drive file for storage, then use zotero sync for the rest of the da…
-
@gurdas, thanks for the post. I plan on looking into both once I get the word add-inn issue solved. Your vote for the linked file method is noted. Thank you.
-
FYI, still in the beta version, as that was the last step dstillman had me on.
-
adamsmith, yes same errors/ problems you quoted.
-
dstillman, I moved my database over to the default zotero location and the word add-inn did not work. I then proceeded as you suggested: Installed the beta version, reset the styles and translators, re-installed version 5. The word Add-in still did …
-
Adamsmith, thank you, that's great information. Just curious, if I decided to try the linked file storage, is there a way to easily change all my current attachments to a linked file storage? I have over 1000 attached files, to many to do each manua…

I have about 4 GB of data in my database. Would you mind making suggestions for other sync options?
-
Sorry, replied before I saw your last comment. I'll do that first thing tomorrow when I get back to the office.

I'm a graduate student with a family, and a huge database. I was hoping to not spend the money until I have a full time job. If I migrate my database out of Google drive, will You help me then?
-
What meant was that I restarted my computer after doing what you said, just not between the beta version reset and reloading version 5. I wasn't sure if that was necessary. Data is not stored in the cloud, but backed up there. In other words, I do …
-
dstillman, That did not work. I did not run a restart after loading the beta, but did after reloading the current version. I should add, that my zotero data directory location is on my google drive, so that I can access it from my home or work lapto…
