Your online storage quota and current usage on Zotero storage is shown here: https://www.zotero.org/settings/storage If you have used up your online storage quota, then syncing of new items to Zotero online storage will not be possible. You can of …

@alx359 I was actually thinking of an encryption app, like VeraCrypt.

You can dedicate a collection in your library specifically for items whose PDFs you want to read in Zotero on your phone (they can of course also still stay in the collections to which they originally belonged). That requires some planning. On your …

I'm not really advocating that Zotero use a simple incrementing-integer-from-1 citekey. I am advocating a reader friendly, unambiguous but suitably short, robust citekey (simpler for example than ODF Scan's default format, which was possibly designe…

This plugin detects when you are downloading an item that matches an existing item and gives you several options: https://chenglongma.com/zoplicate/

I appreciate the powerful workflows that can be implemented with additional, currently available tools. But their complexity is beyond the needs and/or abilities of most users. The Endnote style approach just "works" for a basic user. As does the cu…

This thread had taken a few twists and turns. To save people needing Zotfile-like functionality under Zotero v7 (currently in beta) having to read the whole thread, in order to figure out where things are at now ... in summary the two plugins offeri…

Thanks @emilianoheyns. I think both *small* and *unambiguous* are equally important for unformatted citations. And I should add 'read friendly'. If a grad student is circulating their work to their supervisors for review (who can load work with unfo…
-
A more streamlined, Endnote-like version of unformatted citations fully integrated into Zotero's standard workflows would be great (without the need for the current extra layers of user processes) ... - inbuilt item citation keys (like Endnote's re…
-
The fact that the error message is still referring to the folder on the old computer suggests that either (1) Zotero's conversion process from absolute to relative linked file paths (pointing them to the Linked Attachment Base Directory) has not occ…

Some thoughts ... In Zotfile preferences under Renaming Rules, do you have 'Use Zotero to Rename' turned OFF (as it should be). When you select an item in the Zotero main pane and hit the Update button in Zotfile preferences to Preview Current Ren…
-
If the references in your inherited Word document are not actually live Zotero (or Mendeley) citations, but just plain text, you can instead use the AnyStyle website to extract the references from the reference list and export/import into Zotero. Th…

The Zotero process is designed to work without the need to change any linked PDF file locations - and it almost always does. The error is telling you where Zotero thinks the linked file is. So that's the key to determining what's likely going wrong.…
-
I hope that in the relatively near future a paper's citations list and its 'cited-by' list (which would need updating from time to time) will become separate and formal parts of an item's metadata in Zotero (currently those two are only retrievable …

It's a pity that there is less discussion in this Forum on how to actually use Zotero for different writing needs, than there is on how to fix problems. That link is the sort of discussion for which it has been suggested that this Forum needs differ…
-
It's common to have linked PDF files at slightly different path locations on each computer. Zotero can deal with that easily by entering the parent folder location on a given computer under Linked Attachment Base Directory (Edit\Preferences\Advanced…
-
It would also facilitate a useful 'lite' version of nested tags, ie a single tag with the name 'parent_tag->child_tag'. So when typing child_tag into the tag box, the nested tag 'parent_tag->child_tag' would be amongst the matching suggestions…

This plugin for Zotero 7 (not compatible with the current Zotero 6) adds First Author and the equally important (in many disciplines) Last Author to the main pane column choices. Which you can then sort on to find the one you want. It can also add a…
-
As far as I know the prospective Zotfile-like v7-compatible plugins have said they will not be including the Send To Tablet functionality. Converting/moving a linked attachment file back to local storage is done with the Zotero function under the T…

There are several youtube videos showing how to use the AnyStyle website in conjunction with Zotero. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9b_pulL_Pc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bEtcRcs8Zo

You could just install a Zotero instance/profile/data directory (that has the collections needing protection) in an encrypted folder (the password for which you would provide only to authorized users).
-
Simple lists of authors, journals, and tags in a library or collection (with counts if included) are available via code snippets run under Tools\Developer\Run Javascript. Examples linked below. While the resulting lists are not edit-able to modify t…

Can you give an example of a full file path in the error message ?

No need to change them - they don't apply in your case. https://www.zotero.org/support/retrieve_pdf_metadata

In Zotero General preferences, turn off "Automatically attach associated PDFs and other files when saving items": https://www.zotero.org/support/preferences/general

@dstillman what happens to PDF annotations in the Zotero database when it cannot find the PDF file that they originally belonged to (stored or linked) ? Are they kept ? At what point does Zotero need/try to verify that connection ? For example, if …
-
If the annotations were added in the Zotero reader then they were in the Zotero sqlite database (at least on the machine where they were added), not in the PDF. And neither Zotfile nor any Zotfile-like Z7 plugin does anything with annotations as far…
-
Zotero is obviously primarily focused on written works (although it also covers other media commonly referenced in academic work, such as video and audio). There is an item type for Web Page, so you can save an equipment manufacturer's product page…

I didn't mention anything about citation - that's not the issue I raised. But citing it in Zotero is not completely straightforward when it's categorized simply as a Journal Article - see later. My main issue is that that categorization in my libra…
