Again, if you just add a file to Zotero, by default it's going to be stored within the Zotero data directory. If you're creating linked files manually or by using ZotFile, they'll be stored elsewhere.

Thanks. No problem. I actually figured out that it is much easier to just create a folder in Pcloud and use Zotfile to "rename attachments" after setting the folder as ZotFile's default. It moved all

that mean that all plugins like BetterBibTex and Zotfile will also continue to work? I'm terrified of my MSc workflow being broken as I am just starting my dissertation. Any advice, updates, or other

Can you say more about the exact problem you're having? I'm not sure what you mean by "have a hard time renaming the file with zotfile".

I finally figure out in order to save pdf files from ScienceDirect, I cannot save the pdf when it is in Elsevier's reader [Save to Zotero(Embedded Metadata)]. Instead, I should not double-click to dow

I've sorted it. I didn't realise that I couldn't use zotfile like this for group libraries. In my own library it now works fine.

EDIT2: ok, everything went fine. Now I'm struggling with the moving part? ...How do I avoid using Zotfile to just move the PDFs?

1) disable Zotfile

Because right now every PDF is in the old Mendeley folder and I'd like to change the path for the new Zotero PDF container. If I turn on Zotfile to move all the PDF I think I will be stuck again with
