    by worcblue · December 5, 2023
    Each time I try to go to https://zotfile.com/ to download I get a warning, 'Your connection isn't private: The web page you are trying to enter is not certified by a known certifying authority. Attack
  2. Help with cleaning up files/dirs

    by tim820 · December 5, 2023
    You can setup Zotfile to move the other non-Zotero file types like word processor, excel, jpg, powerpoint, txt, mp4, wav to its Custom Location as linked files, along with the linked PDFs. The default
  3. Help with cleaning up files/dirs

    by dstillman · December 4, 2023
    If you want to use ZotFile to store linked files elsewhere, you can do that (though we can't help with that), but you should not change the data directory setting.
  4. Help with cleaning up files/dirs

    by mdot · December 4, 2023
    Hi, I've been using Zotero for years, somewhat haphazardly. I use zotfile to rename/move pdf files to a directory (sync-folder/%T/%y/) & I cloud sync that. But I've still got a ton of stuff stored in
  5. Zotfile won't move PDFs to custom location

    by tim820 · December 3, 2023
    I've seen the same issue. You can't have a PDF open in another program and then ask Zotfile to move it. Similar to trying to move a file in your operating system and getting the error "This file can't
  6. ZotFile user-defined wildcard

    by imscoop22 · December 2, 2023
    I've been trying to figure out how to setup a user defined wildcard (editing extensions.zotfile.wildcards.user) to access the 'translator' field to be used naming files. I'm not very familiar with the
  7. Zotfile won't move PDFs to custom location

    by afischlinguist · December 2, 2023
    My Zotfile is no longer moving PDFs, either. To be fair, I did just change the location of the stored files (from a company OneDrive account to my personal one), but I updated all the settings in the
  8. Zotfile won't move PDFs to custom location

    by tim820 · November 29, 2023
    But we're clutching at straws. All the Zotfile things you're having issues with usually just "work". So I'm just picking things you have that are different to my setup. Spaces in filenames work fine f

  11. WebDAV in 2023?

    by Kitsune5010 · November 27, 2023
    didn't use the 'send to tablet' functionality of ZotFile as it relies on a third-party PDF annotator but I enjoy using Zotero's as it doesn't store the annotations in the PDF itself. I like that the
  12. WebDAV in 2023?

    by tim820 · November 27, 2023
    Zotfile's move functionality is almost certainly making it to Zotero v7, in at least one existing new plugin. It's only Zotfile's Send-to-Tablet that is not in either of the two new plugin candidates.
  13. WebDAV in 2023?

    by Kitsune5010 · November 27, 2023
    My current workflow is to bring PDFs into Zotero, where Zotfile immediately renames and moves the files. Then, one by one, I bring PDFs back into Zotero storage until I am roughly around 250mb of stor

  15. How to properly use Zotero with Cloud storage?

    by tim820 · November 26, 2023
    I don't disagree that paid local storage works very well for many people who can afford it. ;) I just think that many other people need to use the available alternatives like linked files - academics
  16. How to properly use Zotero with Cloud storage?

    by tim820 · November 26, 2023
    The solution that most people (and there are many, many of them) use for linked file setups is the Zotfile plugin (not the way WSU describes). As pointed out above, Zotfile is not available in Zotero
  17. How to properly use Zotero with Cloud storage?

    by tim820 · November 25, 2023
    Also, unlike the tedious process for every PDF file described by WSU, a linked PDF file setup is usually achieved with the Zotfile plugin. You set Tools\Zotfile Preferences \Custom Location to your cl
  18. How to open linked files in iOS apps

    by dstillman · November 24, 2023
    Only stored files are supported on iOS. If you're getting linked files when you save, you installed and configured some plugin (probably ZotFile) that's doing that.

    I find that more finicky). On my Mac, I have Zotfile installed so it gives me the option to 'Attach new file', but given Zotfile is no longer being actively maintained and all its other functionality
