You don't actually say that you want PDFs saved as "linked" files, not "stored" files. But I assume that is what you want to do. https://www.zotero.org/support/attaching_files#stored_files_and_linked_files The Linked Attachment Base Directory (LABD…

@nsalles linked attachment files do not work with the online web library (nor with the mobile apps). https://www.zotero.org/support/attaching_files#stored_files_and_linked_files So in the web library you can see the parent item (if you have data sy…

The report customizer plugin might have addressed your application, but it has not yet been updated for Zotero v7. It still works with v6. https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-report-customizer For people with card-focused workflows, the zotcard pl…

Also, there are many ways to add information to generic item types (eg Presentation, Document, Report, Dataset) to aid you in knowing exactly what the item is: - the Extra field - a child note with a line for each piece of extra information you wish…

You can select the items you want and use right-click Create Bibliography from Items. Selections are not retained when you move from one collection to another, so you would have to copy all items to one collection in order to do a single list.

Preferences are now called Settings.

The instructions for multiple profiles has indicated the possibility of new data directory creation failure for some time - see "Note, June 2023" at the link below. The instruction there is to create the data directory manually and then point Zotero…

@Schillo I don't know if there is an equivalent saying in German, but in English we say "that horse has already bolted". ;) - AI companies used entire repositories of pirated copyright books to train their AI: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20…

If Zotero does not add a snapshot and I still want one, I use the SingleFile browser extension to save a snapshot to my computer, and then I add it to the Zotero item. I believe that is the same code that Zotero uses to create snapshots. Here's that…

Zotmoov or Attanger are v7-compatible plugins that replicate much of Zotfile's functionality.
-
Comment deleted because I missed that the question was for Android. My suggestion of the zotero-open-pdf plugin obviously only works for Zotero desktop.

There are no fields in the Journal Article item type to record the individual authors' institution(s). Only for single author item types like theses and a few others (eg Report). But there are several ways you can manually record research group inf…

If you want to relate all items that have a given tag (or more than one tag), you can use the Zutilo plugin: select the tag(s) you want in the Tag Selector, then select all the resulting items in the main pane, and finally right-click to Zutilo: Rel…

As indicated in the above-linked thread, the Reference plugin can extract both a paper's cited references and also those which have since cited that paper (the latter if that information has been provided by journal publishers to online databases - …

I am just a user whose institution uses OpenAthens for authentication on and off campus. I have nothing under "Configured Proxies" proxy settings in the Zotero Connector preferences. I do have Enable Proxy Redirection ticked (maybe necessary, maybe …
-
The Zotero Web Connector works fine with journal websites accessed via OpenAthens user authentication.

To clarify, you say that the path to the linked files is exactly the same on *both* computers, ie C:\Users\MyName\Google Drive\Zotero Attachments. If that is the case, then no Linked Attachment Base Directory (LABD) would *normally* be necessary (th…
-
The Linked Attachment Base Directory (LABD) you mentioned only affects where Zotero *looks* for linked PDFs when you try to open them. It has no effect on where they get stored. That's why it did not do what you expected. See "this setting does not …
-
@drtyuj in that case it may just be that an old version of the Reference plugin still works in Zotero 7, if you're seeing the old Settings dialog in v7.* v0.5.9 (June 2023) was the first version to be compatible with Zotero v7. AFAIK the Settings h…
-
Are you running Zotero v6 ? Because that looks like the Settings dialog for the old, v6-compatible version of the Reference plugin. The Settings dialog under Zotero v7 for the latest version of the plugin (1.4.4) looks like this, even on English lan…
-
The Reference plugin can the extract reference list from a PDF in your Zotero library. And can take you to the DOI/URL in your browser for any one that you do not already have. There of course you can choose to add/download it with the Zotero web co…
-
Are you using Onedrive to store your PDF attachment files as "linked" files rather than "stored" files (under Zotero\storage), which are synced to Zotero servers ? https://www.zotero.org/support/attaching_files#stored_files_and_linked_files In that…
-
You can use the Zotmoov or Attanger plugins in v7, in place of Zotfile.
-
Indeed, the blog post doesn't clearly show that you need to turn OFF Zotero *file* syncing (there are only isolated cases where you might have a mixture of "stored" files - that would use Zotero syncing - and also linked files that you sync yourself…
-
One of your links ( https://peterfalkingham.com/2025/04/15/setting-up-zotero-with-onedrive-dropbox-google-drive-etc/ ) is generally correct but confuses the role of the Linked Attachment Base Directory (LABD). Despite what is implied there, a LABD s…

There is a forked version of Citation Counts Manager for Zotero 7 but it only reached beta prerelease (in 2023). The posted Issues suggest it may have some problems working in the most recent iterations of v7. https://github.com/FrLars21/ZoteroCitat…

Your point about different relative costs in different regions is well-taken. For students and others for whom the cost of storage plans is prohibitive, there are lower- or zero-cost options like linked files (facilitated by a plugin like Zotmoov) o…

@dstillman thanks for the confirmation. The reason I asked is that I've come across a number of people implementing WebDAV with a mix of stored and linked files who expected both to be uploaded to their WebDAV server. They were people who understood…
