I see you have posted the problem you found under Issues at github. The plugin has had quite a few changes recently so hopefully the issue will be resolved soon. https://github.com/MuiseDestiny/zotero-reference/issues/367 I don't know of any other …

The online web library does not support WebDAV (although that is noted under the regular Storage heading rather than under the WebDAV heading in the docs) ... "Zotero Storage is the recommended file sync option. It has several advantages over WebDAV…
-
@PX2 there is also a plugin that allows you to open a PDF in an external PDF reader with one or two less clicks than Show in Finder ... https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-open-pdf
-
The Reference plugin can do that. But there are some reasons why it may not work perfectly. It needs to find the paper's reference list from online repositories where journal publishers upload them, and those are not always complete. It then compare…

A Linked Attachment Base Directory setting has no effect on where PDFs get stored - it only affects where Zotero *looks* for PDFs when trying to open them (and you only need to set a LABD when you use more than one computer and the parent paths to y…
-
The only (moderately complex, and not officially supported) way to do it would be to convert the old PDFs to "linked" files, stored only on the local machine in another folder, not under Zotero\storage (although they should be backed up in some way,…
-
Do you have "Show Items from Subcollections" turned ON on one computer but not the other ? https://www.zotero.org/support/collections_and_tags#show_items_from_subcollections
-
You would first decide which existing PDFs you wish to convert to linked files. They can live anywhere you want, including on an external drive. If you try to open such a PDF without your drive plugged in, Zotero will just show an error saying it ca…
-
That's quite a mess you've got there. You have files that have not only changed their path since Zotero stored that path (when they were added), but also some file names appear to have changed (although that could be due to how you copy/pasted the f…
-
If your linked files have a different parent folder on each computer, you set a Linked Attachment Base Directory on each computer. https://www.zotero.org/support/preferences/advanced#files_and_folders Note that the LABD has no effect on where files…
-
Zotero syncs "stored" PDFs across devices via its own servers (300mb free). But if you really want to keep your PDFs on Google Drive and have Google do the file syncing, you can use "linked" PDFs instead. Note their limitations (don't work with Zote…

https://www.zotero.org/support/collections_and_tags#unfiled_items Edit: Your title says "any collection", so I assumed you don't mean not in a *particular* collection.
-
Are we talking about "linked" PDFs or "stored" PDFs. And are their parent items there in your Zotero library or not ? https://www.zotero.org/support/attaching_files#linked_files If you're saying that the parent items *and* "stored" PDFs are no long…
-
"Aren't there" doesn't give us anything to go on to advise on your issue. You can refer to https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/files_not_syncing . But we would need more information on what you're actually seeing in Zotero - like error messages - to a…
-
Presumably you mean PDFs ? Does Zotero show an error message when you try to open one of those PDFs ? What exactly does one of those error messages say ?
-
I believe that changing Style settings for Storage from Note to File should fix it.
-
Were you using Zotfile for that ? If so, it no longer works in Zotero v7 but the Zotmoov or Attanger plugins replace most of its functionality. As Zotero enhanced its file renaming for v7, those plugins now let Zotero do the renaming rather than doi…
-
Latest Zutilo versions are fully v7 compatible, although missing a small number of the old features IIRC. Copy/paste tags does work. https://github.com/wshanks/Zutilo/releases
-
See https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/transferring_a_library
-
Might have been the Reference plugin ? https://github.com/MuiseDestiny/zotero-reference It possibly had some interaction with Zotero v7's reference popup hover window, like what you describe. There is a setting in the plugin's settings that refers…
-
Zutilo does both those things to some extent - tags you first copy to the clipboard from one item, and then you paste them to multiple selected items at once; it does multiple relations by relating all the selected items to every other selected item…
-
You could also use the SingleFile browser extension to save the web page to a single html file, and then attach it to the item. That's the same method Zotero uses.

The only Web connector versions are only for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. https://www.zotero.org/download/connectors The word processor plugins (including LibreOffice's) should be installed automatically when you install Zotero. https://www.z…
-
First, try changing its Storage setting from Note to File. That may fix it.
-
Do you have the Ethereal Style plugin ?
-
Note that linked PDF files don't work with the Zotero mobile apps (nor Zotero Groups nor the web library). There are workarounds for mobile app use via Zotmoov's custom menus (similar to Zotfile's old send/get from tablet). https://www.zotero.org/su…
-
@dfeldman if you have an existing folder of PDFs that you *really* want to keep in that folder, then "linked" files may be an option for you. But they have limitations compared to the default 'stored' PDFs - they don't work with the web library, Gro…

Zotmoov replicates Zotfile's old send/get from tablet (or other device) via its custom menus. https://github.com/wileyyugioh/zotmoov/blob/master/docs/CUSTOM_MENUITEM_INFO.md
-
@hoppek in Zotmoov you specify a permanent 'move to' folder, the same as Zotfile's Custom Location folder. There is no need to specify a folder every time the Zotero connector downloads a PDF. https://github.com/wileyyugioh/zotmoov Questions and fe…

@adamgs78 a strategy for more refined saving of snapshots is to turn off automatic snapshot saving in Settings, and using the SingleFile browser extension to save only the web pages you really want (the same code that Zotero uses to save snapshots).…
