  1. Watch folder

    web connector (those plugins replicate what Zotfile used to do). You set a 'Move To' folder for that - that would be your PDFs folder.
  2. With Zotero 7 what is best method of accessing a collection of PDFs from multiple devices

    by tim820 · September 11, 2025
    Zotmoov replicates Zotfile's old send/get from tablet (or other device) via its custom menus.
  3. With Zotero 7 what is best method of accessing a collection of PDFs from multiple devices

    by Simon Cropper · September 11, 2025
    best method of doing this? Historically I used ZotFile to send PDFs to a directory and inserted comments and highlights in the PDFs directly, then sucked the annotations back into the library. ZotFil
  4. Zotfile plugin disabled in Zotero 7.0.24 for Windows 10

    by tim820 · September 11, 2025
    @hoppek in Zotmoov you specify a permanent 'move to' folder, the same as Zotfile's Custom Location folder. There is no need to specify a folder every time the Zotero connector downloads a PDF.
  5. Zotfile plugin disabled in Zotero 7.0.24 for Windows 10

    by adamsmith · September 11, 2025
    I don't use ZotMoov, so others would have to say, but my understanding is that the file move functionality is equivalent to ZotFile. Zotero has much more advanced renaming options now, so those should
  6. Zotfile plugin disabled in Zotero 7.0.24 for Windows 10

    by hoppek · September 10, 2025
    Do you know if there is a way to change ZotMoov settings for naming and placing files in a directory? I had been using ZotFile and it's disappointing to see this isn't supported in the new version of

  8. Zotfile plugin disabled in Zotero 7.0.24 for Windows 10

    by adamsmith · September 7, 2025
    Yeah, those are indeed contradictory settings. You have your files moved and linked (by ZotFile, presumably) to a location outside of the Zotero data directory. You may well have them synced from ther
  9. Zotfile plugin disabled in Zotero 7.0.24 for Windows 10

    by adamsmith · September 6, 2025
    As noted above, Zotmoov and Attanger both do this, replacing ZotFile in that way, but you also seem somewhat confused about file storage in Zotero: if you're using WebDAV, you want your files in the Z
  10. Zotfile plugin disabled in Zotero 7.0.24 for Windows 10

    by gnixon · September 6, 2025
    Thank you for your comments. I now understand the new file designation. A useful feature in Zotfile was the ability to move (linked) files to an external (cloud) drive when attachments were added. Thi
  11. Zotfile plugin disabled in Zotero 7.0.24 for Windows 10

    by tim820 · September 6, 2025
    Zotfile does not support Zotero v7+. And since Zotero enhanced its attachment file renaming scheme in v7, the plugins that have replaced Zotfile's linked file operations (Zotmoov or Attanger) leave re
  12. Zotfile plugin disabled in Zotero 7.0.24 for Windows 10

    by gnixon · September 5, 2025
    When dropping files as attachments to an item I believe the Zotfile utility allowed renaming and moving of the file to a cloud database automatically. I have set preferences in Zotero to rename files
  13. Zotero on mobile: iPad [Air 6 13" 2024 M2 or Pro 2018/2020/2021 12.9"] or Android [OnePlus Pad 3]?

    ZotDroid, ZotEZ2, Zoo, and workflows based on Zotfile, as well as BiBTeX Android apps on the exported bib file (all documented in the Zotero-to-Referey repo). I now realize that probably I should hav
  14. Feature request: Internal links to bookmarks and highlights

    by ZenonMarko · August 20, 2025
    Agreed about this feature request. Such an approach was possible with Zotfile, which unfortunately is no longer supported and does not work in Zotero 7.
  15. Latest Update v7.0.24: Parent Files Not Getting Renamed

    by adamsmith · August 19, 2025
    You are misremembering. That didn't change and never happened. You might have used linked files before, maybe with Zotfile?
  16. synced files are saving to the proper location on Mac but not my PC

    by tim820 · August 14, 2025
    How are you adding files to Zotero ? The linked-files plugins (Zotfile up until Zotero v6; Zotmoov or Attanger in Zotero v6+) only work automatically to move files to your designated linked-files fold

  18. Numerous Javascript errors on syncing with WebDAV

    by mtthwsn · July 25, 2025
    I used to use Zotero 6 on my Windows device and used Zotfile to manage a local storage system. Recently migrating to Mac, I performed the necessary steps to upload my file attachments to Koofr WebDAV:
  19. Bulk "Save Image As" from area tool annotations?

    by tim820 · July 23, 2025
    If Zotfile could have done this (I'm not sure, I never needed that option) it would have been working with area/image annotations embedded in the PDF. That would have been prior to Zotero v6, when PDF
  20. Bulk "Save Image As" from area tool annotations?

    by CantFindGeorge · July 22, 2025
    As the title says, I'm wondering if it's possible to bulk "save image as" for annotations I've made using the area tool. I looked through some old forum posts that said I could do this with Zotfile. H
