When I drag a file from the Files app over to Zotero, it first adds it to Zotero as a top-level item and is a Stored file. Zotfile does not even move the file over to folder specified in its setting

That sounds like it would be a bug in ZotFile, which handles the whole moving and linking operation.

I am currently using Zotero 5.0.96 on Linux Ubuntu 20.04. I am also using Zotfile to move my attachments to a mounted folder that is connected to my Google Drive storage. When I use the Zotero Conn

I tried to import my Mendeley library to Zotero and use Zotfile to store the pdfs in Onedrive. It was getting messy and I wasn't sure if I was doing it right, so I deleted the folders and entries in Z

I had a look at the mega-thread on Zotfile closed on May 2020, but I couldn´t find a suitable answer to my quite basic problem.

Under "File Syncing", I selected "Sync attachment files in My Library using Zotero" and "Sync attachment files in group libraries using Zotero storage". Furthermore, I have ZotFile installed.

@dstillman Got it, yes, I see the confusion here. Glad to know you're likely to add this functionality at some point, hopefully soon. I'm referring to Zotfile mainly because it's my workaround for sen

I think there's some confusion here due to your describing the annotations as "ZotFile annotations". ZotFile simply extracts annotations — the annotations in your PDF file have nothing whatsoever to d

in Zotero, folks like me are stuck using Zotfile to read PDFs on Android readers - which gives no option but to have external annotations. I feel like my only choice now is to manually go in and dupl

If the question is if Zotero will re-create extraced annotations from Zotfile into the PDF as you describe above, then that's definitely not going to happen. That's not even technically possible (Zotf

Hi, I just want to see if this idea of importing/transferring external annotations (eg, from Zotfile) into the new PDF reader is still planned, and if so, whether we can hope to see it soon. I haven't

The preferences 'extensions.zotfile.pdfExtraction.openPdf*' are obsolete as of ZotFile 5.0.13, when ZotFile removed its 'zotero://open-pdf' handler.

The Zotero iOS does not support linked files due to limitations in iOS and is unlikely to in the future. So, you could use Zotfile to rename items, but the file moving features aren’t really compatibl

Hey guys, I wonder how would zotero ios beta and zotfile play along? Thanks!

1) With Zotfile, use a folder that syncs directly with the cloud, like a Dropbox folder on your computer, to store ALL your PDFs (and have Zotfile automatically move new PDFs to that folder).

But if you do want to get this going in Zotfile, you might need to create that preferences: right-click in the config editor, select new, Boolean, and use

So I have installed the extension Zotfiles on my Mac, and was trying to configure it so I could use Skim as the default PDF reader. The extension documentation talks about a Hidden Option one can set

6. Because I export the notes/annotations to use in other apps (specifically using the mdnotes addon to use markdown files in Obsidian), so I'd like to be able to have a clickable link just as Zotfile

(To be clear, many people still use ZotFile, but if you run into issues you just shouldn’t expect them to be fixed anytime soon and may need to do more debugging on your end. For what it’s worth, Zote
