Thanks @adamsmith, your answers and clarifications were very helpful. Overall, I agree that letting Zotero handle "all the datas!" (library metadata and files) makes everything smoother. I also think there are only two reasons why users resist tha…

Thanks @bwiernik - good reminder. You're referring to this patch, correct? My point is that @danstillman seems to describe that patch as something that ... creates a more complicated, more error-prone, and more limited experience, with no web or m…

That would encourage permanent intermingling of linked files from different libraries and create a usage and support nightmare. This explanation is also unclear to me. Please elaborate.

something that creates a more complicated, more error-prone, and more limited experience, with no web or mobile access, wasn't likely to be something we worked on ourselves @danstillman - Can you describe a solution to this suboptimal user experienc…

Hi @OniDaito, I recently learned about your work to add 2-way PDF syncing in ZotDroid. Thanks for developing this. One question: are you implementing it to work with PDFs stored/synced in the user's Zotero Storage, or just for PDFs that are store…

Ah, my mistake. Apologies for conflating the two and thanks for catching this @adamsmith. Clearly I've not understood the different goals and mechanisms for relative links for groups vs WebDAV for groups. I thought both were ways to have group li…

Thanks for the comment @dstillman. Your point about using one computer for the backup is a simple solution. If our IT director is comfortable with Zotero's at-rest and transit encryption, then maybe we'll even be able to include our organization's…

Thanks for the quick reply @dstillman. Am I understanding correctly that this patch - once its XUL prefs are rewritten as React/HTML - fulfills the need you described in your November 9, 2015 comment: To clarify, the patch would need to be for Li…

Thanks for the update @dstillman. Unfortunately the GitHub patch link was incomplete. I think you're referring to this? Looks like Zotero is going through some important framework changes (XUL to HTML/React to Electron) before any new features ca…

Thanks for the detailed response @bwiernik - very helpful to hear your experience! I do suggest you try out just letting Zotero manage the file locations for you. I switched to this system many years ago and personally find it much easier than tryin…

New Zotero user here, adding more support for this request. @ttlanckr and @simonssim , my organization's situation is similar to yours - would either of you mind updating us on how you and your organizations have used Zotero over the years since yo…

Thanks @dstillman. After exploring that strategy I reached the same conclusion. More Mendeley wrangling ahead - 1.18 has library settings control disabled and frequently crashes. But I've got a few angles still to try. Looking forward to getting …

Thanks for your comments @adamsmith and @gurdas, both very helpful as I begin transitioning myself and my organization to Zotero. In comparing Zotero's two alternative file management strategies (copies VS links), it seems critical to consider how …

Thanks for the quick response @dstillman, very helpful! If not, you should be able to just move the Mendeley data directory and PDFs to the same locations on the new computer and run the Zotero importer. I'd prefer to avoid up/downloading all the P…
