There is data syncing (metadata) and file syncing (eg PDFs). Zotero data syncing is free and unlimited. File syncing is free up to 300mb. There are several alternative file syncing options, including linked files and WebDAV. But they have limitatio…

The Related tab is a bit of an undefined hold-all. As you indicate, there is no way to signify *why* you have placed an item under Related - was it cited by the paper, or has it cited this paper, or did you put the item under Related for some other …

@Hoangna not sure what you mean by "separate them", but Zotero Groups do not support linked files at all (so it's not a Zotmoov issue). https://www.zotero.org/support/attaching_files#linked_files

You can add PDFs as linked files by drag and drop with the appropriate modifier key ... https://www.zotero.org/support/attaching_files#adding_files_via_the_zotero_window

Firstly, the Zotero devs may be able to explain why Zotero's LABD setting is failing to achieve the desired result in this instance. Regarding other options, the Zutilo plugin has linked file options for Show/Modify/Copy Attachment Paths. Show Atta…

If it's ON then Show Items From Subcollections will have a tick mark next to it in the View menu. Click on it to turn it OFF. If it was *already* OFF then obviously there's a different explanation for what you saw.

Do you have View\Show Items From Subcollections turned ON ? In which case adding/removing new items in (other) subcollections would have changed the number of items appearing in parent collections (such that you might have thought that the number of…

The clue to solving these problems is usually the Zotero error message. When you try to open a linked PDF and it fails, does the Zotero error message tell you the path where Zotero thinks that PDF should be ? If so, is the PDF actually at that locat…

Adding them as linked files is still done via drag and drop, just with a modifier key held down while dragging/dropping ... https://www.zotero.org/support/attaching_files#adding_files_via_the_zotero_window And then the conversion from linked to sto…

Zotmoov or attanger under Zotero v7 will replicate Zotfile's operation. Zotero's enhanced file renaming is now used, in place of Zotfile's. So as long as your linked PDF attachment files are synced via Onedrive so that they are present on each com…

@manouchk re your mention of the Linked Attachment Base Directory (LABD), that is irrelevant to the issues of *saving* linked files (via the Connector) or *converting* files already in local Zotero storage to linked files. The LABD only affects whe…

So you got a one-tag-per-line list of all your tags including the badly imported long tags from running the code at the link above ? If scrolling through that list is too difficult to find the long tags (you could copy and paste the list into a tex…

You can get a list of all your tags as described here. Too-long tags should be obvious. https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/97395/is-there-any-way-to-get-a-list-of-current-tags

Cites/cited-by relationships are actually handled quite well by the Reference plugin. https://github.com/MuiseDestiny/zotero-reference * It extracts that information automatically when requested by the user - from each PDF and from online metadata …

I assume you mean you have moved from an old computer where your Zotero library was, to the new laptop. In which case, see https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/transferring_a_library

If you have local PDFs (under Zotero\storage) that are not synced online, transferring a library with PDFs between computers would require Option B here, copying the data folder ... https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/transferring_a_library

Zotero can only sync "stored" PDF attachment files, those under Zotero\storage. If instead you use "linked" attachment files stored elsewhere on your computer, you are responsible for syncing them across each computer (linked files don't work with t…

Probably the quickest way to establish Relations between two or more items in the main pane is with the Zutilo plugin. Select the items and then just right-click to relate them all to each other. https://github.com/wshanks/Zutilo/blob/master/docs/CO…

Do you get an error message when you double click on the PDF ? What does it say ?

[Regarding Dropbox and Google Drive, I do see lots more people (particularly if they started using those services recently) having them set up in download-files-only-when-requested ("streaming") mode*. So I think more people than earlier probably no…

Can Word toggle the field codes (to/from displayed citations) ? If not, a field code may have been corrupted and thus not recognized as a field code by Word. https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/word_field_codes

Add -p to the Zotero startup shortcut to choose the profile you want to use each time (or create a separate shortcut for each profile) ... https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/multiple_profiles

You can delete attachments (alone) from multiple selected items via the right-click context menu with the delitemwithatt plugin (also works for linked attachment files, which Zotero does not delete). https://github.com/redleafnew/delitemwithatt

There is the folder import plugin ... https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-folder-import You can of course just select PDFs in a directory and drag them to the Zotero collection you want. https://www.zotero.org/support/adding_items_to_zotero#adding…
