Not exactly your question, but you can use the Zotfile plugin to automatically send and retrieve PDFs to your tablet.

I wrote up some instructions for students who wanted advice on storing PDFs in Zotero on Google Drive (UCLA gives them unlimited storage). I showed them Zotfile -- and here is a link to a quick step-

But when I use zotfile my attachements are not there. As I understood it, in this case the information is downloaded from the website.

attachements or repeated collections. I use zotfile and Better Bib(La)Tex and these are the steps I follow:

You need to install Zotfile in Zotero, not Firefox. On Zotfile.com, right-click on the download link, choose Save As, and save the file to your computer. Then, in Zotero, click Tools - Add-ons, and dr

Mozilla has now shut down access to Zotfile. When I try to download, even if I say "allow" it gives me the following message: "This add-on cannot be installed because it has not be verified." Can this

I disabled the extensions Better Bib(la)Tex, RTF / ODF Scan and Zotfile, but the error message continues to appear.

my tablet still creates subfolders, despite my Zotfile settings specifying no subfolders.

Note that ZotFile's settings only affect where files are moved. It has no influence on where Zotero actually looks for files.

i renamed a folder which contains subfolders (and so on) - and one of these is the folder i have my pdf attachments for zotero stored (moved there with zotfile).

will reset all of your settings for Zotero and Zotfile to their defaults. Then try to set up your tablet settings again and see if they work correctly.

Months later, and the send to table function in Zotfile is still not working properly, or at least how it used to work. As previously described, I do not want subfolders on my tablet. I have "No subfo

@khaden: The ZotFile plugin can extract your PDF annotations into Zotero notes, and that feature will likely be ported to Zotero in the future.

On the end, I would like to ask you: did you try Zotfile add-on?

You need to set it up in the "Tablet Settings" tab of the ZotFile preferences, then it appears under manage attachments

OK, I see that. How do I use zotfile to just send *copies* of my pdfs to the shared folder, not move the pdfs?

ZotFile has a send to tablet function that you can use for this (it doesn't actually have anything to do with tablets -- it just sends attachments to a specified folder).
