Now I just export using zotfile and then open through gdrive. All scribbles and annotations are preserved when the item is reuploaded from the tablet folder to its respective places.

I read some similar post like [Deleting duplicate files in Zotero storage folder in 2018](https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/73802/deleting-duplicate-files-in-zotero-storage-folder), [Zotero/Zotfile

ZotFile automatically moves files that are attached to items imported using the connector to the specified custom location. You only need to do this manually (and there's no way to automate this) if y

I'm wondering if it is possible to have an automated workflow for saving files to Zotero using the Zotero Conector and then having Zotfile renaming and moving them to Google Drive automatically?

A simple way to manage Zotfile's moving of PDF attachments in an *existing* large Zotero library to the Zotfile linked Custom Location is to do it in smaller chunks ... select all the A's, then right

But if you want to continue, you'd use ZotFile --> Manage Attachments --> Rename Files in batch to turn all your current attachments into links in Google Drive and then follow the set-up as described.

1. I'm stuck trying to figure out if with Zotero 6 I still need Zotfile to send PDFs from the Zotero library on my Macbook to PDF Expert on my iPad.

version => 6.0.23, platform => MacIntel, oscpu => Intel Mac OS X 10.16, locale => zh-CN, appName => Zotero, appVersion => 6.0.23, extensions => ZotFile (5.1.2, extension), Zotero PDF Preview (0.3.7, e

I don't know about tags. I read about the nested tags addon, and see the logic behind it, I guess it can replace collections, though I'm not quite convinced. Oh, I also use Zotfile to organize my data

Just to make sure I understand, you're saying that deleting the PDFs using my OS/file explorer won't cause them to be deleted for everyone else? If so, that's probably my best option, because all of m

Then Zotero would know where to *look* for your PDFs on each computer. On the other hand, Zotfile's Custom Location just sets where PDFs get *put*, when downloaded by the Zotero Web Connector.

Do I understand correctly that because I moved them using Zotfile, they are not actually backed up by Zotero, and so paying for unlimited storage isn't helping me?

My PDF all lived in a single Onedrive folder where I had moved them using Zotfile. I had paid for unlimited Zotero storage, which was a lot for my student budget. Do I understand correctly that becaus

Yes, this function is currently missing in ZotFile. I think it's implemented now in Zotero's own renaming function, but if you need to use ZotFile, you can get something that should work in most cases

This is a small quality of life suggestion for Zotfile: I have a lot of records with some HTML markup in the Title field (https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/rich_text_bibliography). Zotfile includes th

Thanks for the information on Zotfile and the use of stored files.

(Though using manual linked files for Word documents is fine, and can be preferable. We don't generally recommend storing actively edited Word documents as stored files, since changes on multiple comp

Again, Zotero always and only saves stored files for regular saves. ZotFile converts saved stored files to linked files, but that has nothing to do with Zotero itself. I have Word documents saved in m

Prior to a couple of days ago, it was not saving the attached files to the Zotero/Stored subfile. It was saving the PDF images I was adding to Zotero to the location I had indicated in Zotfile.

Zotero itself always saves stored files unless you manually create a link to a file. Any automatic conversion to linked files would be a ZotFile setting, and that's not something we can help with (tho
