Okay, you will use Zotero for data syncing, and then one of the three options to sync your attachment files. Using Zotfile is generally the easiest method.

- I'm seeing a foreign key constraint in the error message, so just in case this is due to a third-party add-on, I've been using Better BibTeX, Zotero, Zutilo (on a different machine) and ZotFile on t

ZotFile is based on the idea the PDF files are attached to Zotero items. It moves files that are attached to Zotero items automatically, but it doesn't move top level PDF files. Now that Zotero automa

Another problem: my "Source folder for attaching new files" in ZotFile is not updating. I move a file to that folder and it doesn't appear at Zotero.

Here's the situation. I use Zotero standalone on my Mac laptop and use Zotfile to set the relative path to "/Users/jameskrigney/Dropbox (UFL)/Zotero_files". So far so good. Had no problems.

I'd assume you're seeing Zotero's changed renaming behavior, not ZotFile's. You can disable that in the General tab of the Zotero preferences.
