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…
