  • Sorry, I'd have replied if I had anything intelligent to contribute. I'll try to bring your question to the attention of someone better able to help you out.
  • You might have more luck using Zotero 1.5 Sync Preview and syncing your library/files, rather than sharing a networked library over virtualization software. Obviously, back everything up first, but it should work nicely. Unless there's some nuance I…
