I don't mean to raise a dead topic here - but I don't think I have something set up right. I've attempted to switch from Zotero sync to the linked files method. I have ZotFile set up such that Locatio

The settings above are fine for that. Do note that ZotFile does not automatically move files after you've dragged them to Zotero (which isn't typically the recommended way to add to Zotero). You have

I know nothing about implementation. However, I understand that ZotFile - an external Zotero plugin - is capable to extract highlighting and annotations from pdfs, and then feed them into Zotero - irr

My extensions are DOI manager, Sci-hub plugin for Zotero, Zotero LIbreOffice Integration, Zotero Word for Mac integration, and Zotfile.

Depending on your set-up, you may need to adjust the linked attachment base folder in the Zotero (not ZotFile) preferences on different computers. I don't understand, why? As I posted in the other thr

Zotfile preferences:

to make easy (auto-downloading/adding PDFs). The Zotfile plugin is able to save linked PDF attachments downloaded via the Zotero web Connector; it has an option for PDFs to be saved to a sub-folder (

The source folder is irrelevant for file storage (as the name "source" suggests, it's a folder that ZotFile lets you monitor for attaching new files to existing items).

But is this plugin to let me the pdfs in the google drive? It looks like for me as a tool to import folders. What I am trying to achieve is using Zotfile keeping the structuro fo the folders, but doin

I was re-reading your post, I don't fully understand which is the difference in Zotfile preferences between source folder and Custom Location. I don't really like the configuration of just one folder,

I have recently upgraded to Zot 7 (and ZotFile doesn't work)

appName => Zotero, version => 7.0.0-beta.68+c31a40c74, os => macOS 14.4, locale => en-US, extensions => Del Item With Attachment (0.2.5, extension), Jasminum (1.0.0-14, extension), Actions and Tags fo

Got it. Thanks. Any workaround to make the item be named the same as the parent Metadata just like what zotfile did?

The main use of embedded attachment notes was always table-of-contents feature from ZotFile, but there would be better ways to replace that functionality than this weird type of note.

All my library is stored in OneDrive and linked through Zotfile. Will it be possible to annotate these files in the android app?

@adamsmith maybe I just miss Zotfile in Zotero 7 (function: Rename & move).

@cesare.beccaria, Attanger is just as "official" as Zotfile. Both are third party software and not maintained by the Zotero crew. Status-wise the difference between the two is that Zotfile has been ar

I must have missed something, because I still don't understand why Zotero has to "copy" the attached file to its own arbitrary location when in the settings I have configured a specific local folder f

The drag method you've used so far is not actually using Zotfile. It's just Zotero's drag operation.

@GaryScottMartin There's a ZotFIle replacement for Zotero 7: https://github.com/MuiseDestiny/zotero-attanger
