  • 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…
  • @dstillman I believe it is also the case that WebDAV only syncs stored files to the WebDAV server, not linked files (the documentation is a little unclear on that) ? https://www.zotero.org/support/sync#webdav
  • Regarding detecting redundant and under-used tags, you can get an alphabetically sorted list of all your tags (along with usage count) relatively easily: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/97395/is-there-any-way-to-get-a-list-of-current-tags Rega…
  • To be clear, if you want to use linked files to facilitate PDF access in an external PDF reader on a mobile device (because you can't use Zotero syncing/mobile apps for some reason), you can either have *all* your PDFs saved as linked files, or just…
  • @CMKONRAD the guide you mention (which now seems to be a 2024 update of a 2018 original ?) simply describes a cloud-based, "linked" PDF files setup across multiple computers, facilitated by Zotmoov. Since linked PDF files are not accessible from the…
  • Use Zotmoov or Attanger in place of Zotfile.

  • Zotero didn't get its own PDF reader until v6. Prior to v6, PDFs opened in an external reader. https://www.zotero.org/blog/zotero-6/

  • There is no default linking of in-text citations to the bibliography. That can be done for the most common citation styles with a MS Word macro, as described below and at the author's Github (also linked): https://citationstyler.com/en/knowledge/lin…
  • I achieve some grouping by adding an underscore prefix to the names of my "topic" saved seaches. So they are all at the top of the list. "Author" saved searches don't have that, so they end up at the bottom. Any really important searches I add a dou…

  • Not currently. And while there is the option to add a column to the main pane that shows each item's attachment, annotation and note counts, there is no Related count column. That would be useful. Similar to user-added item links under Related, th…
  • Zotero-scihub was the best-known sci-hub plugin for Zotero v6 but has not been updated for Zotero v7 ... https://github.com/ethanwillis/zotero-scihub/issues/102 Probably the simplest way to add sci-hub support is just to add a currently-valid sci-h…
  • Seaching for empty fields usually works via "does not contain" (leave blank). Which I read as "does not contain anything". Somewhat unintuitive. ;) For example @bradleyjdixon 's search works correctly when entered as: Title Contains : Short title D…
  • If you want to keep your PDFs on Google Drive (or any other cloud-mirrored service), you would need to save them as "linked" files in Zotero. See the differences between stored and linked files, including limitations: https://www.zotero.org/support/…
  • Linked PDFs show under their item in the main pane with the chain-link PDF icon. Stored PDFs don't have the chain-link. To convert linked PDFs back to stored files, select item(s) or PDF(s) in the main pane, then use Tools\Manage Attachments\Conver…
  • All you need to do is post the Debug ID (number) here.
  • So it sounds like your PDF attachment files are stored as "linked" PDFs in Google Drive ? But hopefully not your Zotero data folder, which you cannot do ... https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/data_directory_in_cloud_storage_folder https://www.zotero.…
  • To be clear, Zotmoov doesn't actually "have" your linked PDF files, so you're not moving them "out of" Zotmoov. ;) They are in a linked files folder you designated (to Zotmoov). The exact location of each linked file was written into the Zotero data…

  • @stoiclemming also note that the zotmoov plugin does not require anything like the steps you described, in order to work properly.
  • If you want ad-free web page snapshots, use an ad-blocker in your browser.
  • In your OS's file manager, check the total size of all the files under the Zotero\storage hierarchy. That is roughly what you would need. That \storage folder is in your Zotero data folder. https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data
  • Do a search in your OS's file manager of the folder hierarchy under Zotero\storage, for *.PDF. Sort by size. The PDF file name may be enough to tell you which Zotero item a big PDF belongs to. If not, put its folder name (eg 2BJZFJXT) in Zotero's Qu…
  • 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
