Hi, every time I check my saved search folder for the _tablet tag, to see what files Zotfile syncs to my Dropbox folder, I receive a Zotero notification for four files that 'The file "[filename.pdf]"

Using the ZotFile add-on renames both, even if you keep storing the file as a Zotero attachment (as I'd typically recommend you do).

I am not sure if you are already aware, but as the Zotero 5 update, the "Use additional subfolders defined by" functionality in Zotfile's tablet settings (which I have set to /%w) is not working.

Then zotfile could do the rest.

is an important part of my Zotero workflow (via Zotfile, which I have just set up to work with the new Box account). I am trying to get things done through my university IT people, but I cannot acces

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

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

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