It's a problem. I work with a Macbook and an Android cell. My Zotero library and attached files are on Google Drive. Zotfile for Android doesn't work well. Should I change from Android to iPhone? On t

hmmm, i tried but even with if the zotfile option is activated, for a work made of - say - xix+342 pages (xix of prefatory matter + 342 of body text) the number given by zotero for page 2 of body text

Is this something new? Some time ago I poked around and saw some numbered folders and files, I thought Zotfile extension was needed to do any kind of renaming. I am very sorry for misleading informati

would it be possible, when extracting the annotation with zotfile, to allow for interactively creating the "related" link to author (year), if author (year) exists in the zotero library?

I hope someone can help me:-) I just installed zotfile and have managed to extract annotations from a pdf successfully and can also copy and paste them into word. However, the citation is just a hyper

I am thinking of having custom text in the Journal Abbr field for use with Zotfile for attachment renaming. So, for example, I'd like items for the journal "Environment Science & Technology" to have "
