I did convert the attachments to links with zotfile, and the directory with the linked files was originally the dropbox folder. Again, this somehow seems to have disappeared within zotero and switched

If Dropbox has access to zotero/storage, you likely don't have this set up correctly and may in fact be in danger of corrupting your database. To use Zotero safely with Dropbox with linked files, you

In investigating further, the base directory for linked files had been cleared out of my preferences and was blank, so even when I told zotero through zotfile to "rename attachments" and it seemed to

Thanks for clarifying. I am indeed using Zotfile so I guess the hyperlinks come from them.

(I think they are referring to Zotfile’s table of contents extraction feature)

Use the Zotfile plugin. Highlight the quotes in the PDF, save the file, then right click on it and choose “Extract annotations”

Two computers use Zotfile to connect to a NAS drive via WebDAV. The computer on which this error occurs is trying to sync data that were updated on the other computer. The data includes (a) metadata i

Zotero 5.0.53, ZotFile 5.0.8.

This does sound like a ZotFile bug. Which operating system, which Zotero version, which Zotfile version? And this happens every time you rename/move a file using ZotFile?

I'm a new Zotero user, and when I saw that Zotero only offers 300MB of storage, I decided to find ways to have my PDFs somewhere else. In the end, I settled on using ZotFile to rename attachments to a

I'm organizing my library and using Zotfile to store things. So my work flow these days is:

I've used Zotero (standalone version 5.0.53) with and without Zotfile for a few years now and I love it. A while ago, I decided to move all my stored pdf files to a separate storage folder using Zotfi

Extract Annotations is a ZotFile feature, not a Zotero one, so I can't advise on that.

It's Zotero that's now storing (rather than linking) the files properly for you — that's not ZotFile.

I believe Zotero is exploring incorporating auto-extraction of annotations ala Zotfile to address this feature.

There is a possible option. Install the ZotFile plugin. So, there will be an extra option when right-click on the PDF file to extract annotations (Manage attachment -> Extract annotation). Then, the c

Yes! Using Zotero Beta did the trick. ZotFile is now automatically renaming all the files during import (and moving them, I guess).

If you want to partly use Zotero storage, I think the easiest way would be to move more files from Zotero storage to OneDrive -- ZotFile would help you do that easily -- until you go below 6GB on sync

And if I use ZotFile's rename function on multiple files, it still only renames the first one. So what you were saying (If Mendeley files are stored in "Downloaded", Zotero imports the PDFs to its own

When I import from Mendeley in Zotero, all files are linked files, and "Show File" directs me to the "Mendeley Desktop" folder. Only when I use Zotero's "Rename Attachment" function (from ZotFile), th
