If I simply follow the steps in my original post, then will Zotero/Zotfile move all the PDFs to the OneDrive folder, or do I have to initiate that process in some manner?

Hi! I apologize if the question may sound too simple. I'm using Zotero on Mac Mojave. The problem is that even though I left unchecked "Use subfolder defined by...", Zotero still creates a separate f…

With box.com about to drop support for webDAV, and the app that I synced to on my iPad and iPhone (PaperShip) long since abandoned by the developer, I’m thinking of changing my workflow to using Linke

Box no longer supports WebDAV syncing, so you can't directly use Zotero's file syncing ability with it any longer. See here for how you can use Box with linked files in combination with the Zotfile pl

(I believe doing so in batch is currently broken for ZotFile, unfortunately: https://github.com/jlegewie/zotfile/issues/368 meaning there is no quick way to do this that I'm aware of)

You can use the third-party ZotFile plugin for that.

I love the hidden zotfile option to create separate notes based on the color of the annotation (pdfExtraction.colorNotes). But it also separates out by highlight vs. notes. For example, I get one note

Zotero doesn't work particularly well with Dropbox, no. You can use ZotFile to move files to a Dropbox folder, but if you place Zotero's database (and it's default set-up) into Dropbox, things will st

Right, I had a vague recollection of a problem with that in ZotFile. I'm afraid that is (or rather, would be) the only way to do this in batch currently.

Thanks! The method you mention *should* work, but it seems there is an issue in Zotfile which does not allow me to do this to more than 1 file at once:

I'm pretty sure Zotfile (www.zotfile.com) should allow you to do that:

"(though we're planning to extend the built-in renaming to do much of what ZotFile can do)."

Another option would be to use the ZotFile plugin to convert all stored files to linked files in a temporary directory, set it up as a linked attachment base directory to convert all the files to rela

Ok I changed zotfile settings, location of files from custom location (the zotero folder which is then linked) to attach stored copy of files.

Some of the files I have in my library have the linked icon, and some have the PDF icons, all are saved in my zotero folder. I use ZotFile. How can I change so that all have PDF icons? Thanks.

There's an open ticket in ZotFile for 8 (https://github.com/jlegewie/zotfile/issues/363), but the developer hasn't found a way for Zotero to signal to ZotFile when it's attaching a file after retrievi

Regarding (9), if you either choose the option in Zotfile to let Zotero store the files or you leave the location field blank, Zotfile should rename your files in place when renaming them? Are you usi

Ok, so how can I do this then? Any chance to store them both in Zotero and Zotfile?
