I also dislike Google Drive for numerous reasons. I use Dropbox and OneDrive for my work. If you already have a linked files/Zotfile workflow set up, I would recommend one of those too. You could also

To be clear, you have the "Location of files" Zotfile preference set to "Custom location", not "Attach stored copy of files"?

Hello all. Thank you for your answers! I have had to abandon Box, and I am trying to switch over to using Google drive for storage (via Backup and Sync). Within Zotfile, I have selected the source fol

As for making annotations searchable, the third-party ZotFile plugin can extract your annotations to notes in Zotero, where they become searchable. We're planning to integrate similar functionality in

Hello, nope. I follow the instruction according to bwiernik, it did not rename it at all. Look like ZotFile haven't been updated for a while. I will submit the bug to ZotFile and hopefully they will b

FWIW, I recently switched from macOS to Windows, and I was able to add the same EPUBs (which had been sitting on Dropbox) to the Windows version of Zotero without a problem using ZotFile: I dragged th

The zotero.org web library generally works well. Also look at Zotfile for a way to send files back and forth to your tablet.

You could use the Zotfile plugin (zotfile.com) to mass convert the the PDF copies into links and push all the files to the external drive.

1.) Use linked files, automatically moved via ZotFile, as described in option 1 here: https://www.zotero.org/support/sync#alternative_syncing_solutions

First, thank you for the great products. Both Zotero and ZotFile make bibliography management much more pleasant.

"Lately, Zotfile often truncates my highlights made in preview when I use the "extract annotations" feature.

I used Zotfile to store all my pdf in an external folder from Zotero's default folder (in order to have an easier access).

If you're using the "Organize My Files" option in Mendeley, such that files are stored in another folder on your hard drive rather than in the Downloaded subdirectory of the Mendeley data directory, Z

The issue is reproducible with all add-ons (Zotfile + Zutilo) disabled.

sorry if that wasn't clear: I understood what the issue was, I just don't have anything helpful to add. I think there is a bug with the ZotFile PDF links outside of Mac and IIRC Joscha is aware of it.

Clicking on the hyperlinks in the notes section created/populated by ZotFile does not actually open the PDF let alone the PDF to the right page!

Did you have attachments stored in your zotero directory in the past (perhaps before using something like zotfile)?

The export is consistent with the sync. Perhaps you're not storing attachments in your Zotero directory, but are merely linking to files (possibly with the aid of something like zotfile)? If you're u

Yes, the path needs to be stored as a relative path before you change the base directory for this to work. I don't know if ZotFile's moving prevents those files from being stored as relative paths — I

If I right click on items > Zutilo > Show Attachment Paths, I can see that the path is still pointing to the old path with the old folder name. I'm guessing this is because I used ZotFile to store the
