But you should try disabling ZotFile.

2. Sync automatically starts - long stream of Zotfile notifications, a mix of "Zotfile New Attachment" and "Zotfile New Attachment File Renamed".

ZotFile doesn't know anything about Zotero annotations. It won't extract them, and if you convert a stored file to a linked file it will erase any existing Zotero annotations, which is likely what hap

I installed zotfile recently. It is extracting the pdf highlights without any issues.

As a Zotero user, I heavily need some add-on such as `better bibtex`, `zotfile`, `zotilo` to empower my Zotero. However, at the beginning, I download these from GitHub. And when I want to check if th

I'd check your Zotfile settings as the most likely culprit here. With file*names* changed, I really don't see an alternative to manually relinking, I'm afraid.

I'm using Zotfile to rename and save linked PDFs in a custom folder that I can sync with Google Drive.

P.S. I do have Zotfile and I've used it to rename the pdf attachments only.

@hadifalex: To be clear, you can also just add a Zotero storage subscription, or not sync files at all and just store them locally. ZotFile is an unmaintained third-party plugin, so it's not something

Thanks for the response. You confirmed my suspicions that ZotFile simply doesn't do annotations. I have considered the webDAV but for the time being I am not in a particular rush although I want to es

I started using Zotero 5 as standalone version plus Zotfile. So far I'm not very efficient or able to find solutions for my questions.

webDAV would work, yes. ZotFile could also be made to work, but it's not a super quick fix and the developer isn't spending much time on it these days, so not sure if that'll happen.
