edit: issue solved. The items were in use in another application. Once I closed it, zotfile started working again.

I have a question that as I'm using Zotfile and iCloud to manage and storage the PDFs, is there any options like 'Link Attachment Base Directoy' in desktop version to make the Zotero(iOS) able to read

The 8 digits random strings folder should be removed if the trash is empty after the Zotfile is installed, however some folders remains in the storage folder,  there is only one file named as .zotero-

NEW PROBLEM: when many files (ca. 800 in my case) are selected and Zotfile is asked to extract the annotations, the process gets stuck.

Pdf's are complex and only some allow extraction through zotfile. is there a method to "convert" a pdf from a "non-extractable" pdf to an "extractable" pdf? For example could you convert a non-extra

If I have Zotfile move files to a local, unmounted, folder, then Zotfile works just fine, converting the PDF attachment to a Linked file. I can then use rclone periodically to sync the files in my lo

I'm afraid other than fixing this in ZotFile or finding someone willing to do so, there's currently no obvious solution. It's a little odd that there aren't more reports of this, so it's possible that

One other idea. Could it be a permissions issue running on Linux with the way that Zotero is assigning its permissions to files that would prevent other processes (in this case the Zotfile add-on) fr

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
