Thank you for clarifying that ZotFile does not do what I understood it to. Perhaps I can ask for that to be added as a feature -- the ability to see what I have in Zotero storage so files can be sele

every function of zotfile is documented on www.zotfile.com

I have maxed out my storage and need to delete some attachments from my library, so I installed ZotFile to find some attachments to delete, but I do not see the list of my files that are in my Zotero

otherwise my issue would be solved by Zotero / Zotfile's local file renaming scheme. Indeed, the metadata in original PDFs are generally gibberish. So it would be useful to be able to batch rewrite j

ZotFile lets you create a folder structure with attachments outside of Zotero's Storage folder. It is not possible to reorganize the storage folder itself.

Open Zotfile Preferences in the Gear menu in Zotero. On the General Settings tab, under Location of Files, choose Custom Location and pick where you would like the PDFs stored (don't put it in Zotero'

I have started using Zotfile to put pdf attachments into a single folder on my Google Drive (it could be any cloud service), linked from the Zotero entries. Then I can read and annotate them in the cl

Check out the Zotfile plugin.

The files have always been on the computer and still are, but a colleague of mine cleaned the folder (which may be reason?). I am not using ZotFile..

There's no way in Zotero itself for a file to be deleted without the item, so either the files were never on this computer to begin with, in which case you'd need to see Files Not Syncing, or somethin

yes, that would be the problem. You'd have to save the file back to where you opened it from. Otherwise you're having ZotFile trying to extract annotations from the not-annotated document stored in Zo

I have had problems extracting annotations from Zotero using Zotfile and after looking into it for a bit I think it may have to do with how I am using it. At the moment my workflow is along these line

Zotfile is incredibly helpful. Thank you for writing it.

I tried Zotfile before, and you have said it works for you. Unfortunately, and although the instructions on the Zotfile website are written in clear language, I was unable to figure out the actual ste

As an alternative, the ZotFile plugin for Zotero on the computer can automate sending pdfs to a specific Dropbox, etc. folder for annotation on your tablet and can then retrieve marked-up pdf and put
