  1. Zotfile won't move PDFs to custom location

    by tmanchester · November 9, 2023
    I've reached my Zotero storage limit so I wanted to move everything to OneDrive. I set the custom location in Zotfile and then right clicked -> Manage attachments -> rename and move. The box appears i
  2. Is there a way to associate highlights with a new pdf file?

    by jvmachado · November 8, 2023
    I managed to fix it! Apparently, Zotfile had created a subfolder within the main zotero database. Once I put the PDF in the correct folder, it worked!
  3. Copies of stored files / Stored by Default

    by dstillman · November 8, 2023
    Zotero only creates stored files unless you manually add a linked file. If you're getting linked files automatically, you likely set up the ZotFile plugin to do that. See Stored Files and Linked Files
  4. Changed Linked Attachments Base Directory to Dropbox folder but Zotero doesn't relink attachments

    by tim820 · November 8, 2023
    When changing to linked attachment files, you actually have to ask Zotfile to *move* the attachment PDF files to your Custom Location. Use right-click Manage Attachments\Rename and Move. If you have a

    2. Then, set Zotfile's custom location to your Dropbox folder.
  6. Changed Linked Attachments Base Directory to Dropbox folder but Zotero doesn't relink attachments

    by eloysa.zelada · November 8, 2023
    I also set up ZotFile "Location Files" to the dropbox folder and this is still not working.
  7. Annotations not appearing in desktop application

    by colleen.t · November 6, 2023
    I use zotfile to send and receive pdfs between my laptop and my tablet. Up until this week, this has worked just fine, and annotations appeared in the pdf reader of the desktop app and could be edited
  8. Syncing between Google Drive and iPad

    by RasmusDuret · November 5, 2023
    I have managed to sync my files to Google Drive using ZotFile, and can see them as linked files in my Zotero app.

    that no longer work, most notably Zutilo and ZotFile (but also some smaller ones).
  10. On Zotfile development and Zotero 7

    by Tannenfreund 87 · November 2, 2023
    suspicious. It also has a copy of the original "Zotfile" included, which includes a dated version (9 years) of "pdf.js". I don't think any of these apply to it, but be careful: https://cve.mitre.org/
  11. Theoretical or practical library size limit?

    by adamsmith · November 1, 2023
    Biggest concern before updating are incompatible add-ons (Zutilo and ZotFile, most prominently)
  12. PDF automatic renaming not working

    by tim820 · November 1, 2023
    Since you are using the Zotero 7 beta, it's also possible you are referring to missing the right-click Manage Attachments\Rename and Move which is a feature of the Zotfile plugin (which also auto-rena
  13. Is it correct that right now there are no alternatives to the defunct Zotfile?

    by tim820 · October 31, 2023
    Good to clarify. @knutatle did say in the other thread that they had used zotero-file to move PDFs to Dropbox and now wanted to move them back (also, zotero-file has not implemented Zotfile's send to
  14. Is it correct that right now there are no alternatives to the defunct Zotfile?

    by adamsmith · October 31, 2023
    (ZotFile used to have that feature, actually, it just broke and Zotero then added it because they obviously want this to be possible).
  15. Is it correct that right now there are no alternatives to the defunct Zotfile?

    by tim820 · October 31, 2023
    The Zotero feature (Tools\Manage Attachments\Convert Linked Files to Stored Files) has always been the way to move linked PDF attachments back to Zotero storage. Zotfile never had a way to do that as
  16. Is it correct that right now there are no alternatives to the defunct Zotfile?

    by knutatle · October 30, 2023
    Thank you! And also for your tips about returning the files to Zotero. I have never used that feature before :-) In Zotfile I could send them all back to Zotero in a batch. The pdf files has abstract
  17. E-reader integration with Zotero

    by joaofrgomes · October 30, 2023
    I'm not sure just how complex such a renaming/branding endeavour is (does it entail scouring the entire codebase and pruning it of certain references to Zotero?), but considering that we're nearing th

    by tim820 · October 30, 2023
    Zotfile is still fully functional under the current release of Zotero, that is v6.
  19. Is it correct that right now there are no alternatives to the defunct Zotfile?

    by knutatle · October 30, 2023
    If so, could anyone please link me to the main or most relevant discussion about this?
  20. Questions about zotfile on Zotero 7-beta version

    by ds1kde · October 29, 2023
    I used zotfile for this function (right-click on the selected files, and choose Manage Attachments > Rename and Move) so that I can see files in the zotero of multiple computers. I am wondering if the
