You need to install the Zotfile 5 beta from GitHub for it work with the Zotero beta.

I'm very new to Zotero. I'm running beta 5 (seems ready to go golden to me). I just discovered Zotfile, but I can't get it running in Zotero Standalone. Is it simply not compatible with beta 5 Standal

AH! Mystery solved. I have no idea how, but the problematic files had lost their .pdf extensions. They are all papers with very long names, so possibly there's an issue with Zotero's rename features i

2. You can use the Zotfile plugin to store your PDFs in a cloud storage or network folder. Note that you absolutely should not store the Zotero database itself in such a folder--that will definitely l

I have a weird problem... using Zotero standalone 4.0.29.17 with Zotfile 4.2.8 (I think those are the latest of each?) on Windows 7/64.

I've had a perfectly functioning system for connecting Zotero to Docear over the past few years, with the help of Zotfile and Better Bib(La)Tex plugins. However, I recently refreshed firefox and reins
