@dstillman is there any way to prevent this? I do not have enough storage on Zotero, what you're proposing is not an option for me unfortunately. Would webDAV or any alternative to ZotFile solve the p

@fgr1: ZotFile will delete the Zotero/Mendeley annotations for any attachments it converts to linked files. Don’t use it if you want to import Mendeley annotations.

I'm having a similar issue as @glanciano, @MACorreia . I imported my Mendeley library 2 months ago with no issues. I use Zotfile and I basically deleted everything from my library and my bin to change

I am learning the language - my husband set up zotfile - and my intention in saying 'datafile' was about the pdf attachments - NOT the database of citations stored in zotero - which is being synched.

Just to be clear - my Zotero program file is on the C drive of each machine - I am using Zotfile to store my pdf attachments on one drive.

My zotfile can't rename pdfs automatically, and I have to rename them on my own. And if I open zotero and immediately use quicklook to view the pdf or try to change zotfile preferences, zotero often h

1. The zotero - zotfile - Dropboxsync method works brilliantly. I don't like the built-in neoreader app so I downloaded foxit, but several choice worked just fine. This has been totally transformative

Do you have the Zotfile add-on installed? See instructions above

Set `extensions.zotfile.pdfExtraction.formatNoteTitle` in config editor to empty value.

I have checked the settings in the ZotFile plugin and the directories seem to be right. Problem seems to be fixed.

The Linked Attachment Base Directory doesn't make Zotero save files anywhere else — Zotero always saves stored files by default. It sounds like you're looking for the ZotFile plugin. Also, is there a

I know that in previous versions users were able to use ZotFile to create an additional file alongside the PDF that contained all the annotations, and this could be viewed in a note section in the vie

Have anyone had problem with saving annotated .pdf by using Zotfile?

Also had a bunch of annotations deleted. Is there a fix in develpment for this or should I always expect zotfile to delete my annotations?

It's not really about the file location — it's just that ZotFile deletes the old stored-file attachment and creates a new linked-file one, and in the process it deletes the annotations stored with the

This discussion was created from comments split from: Zotera Beta App - PDF annotations missing.

I am using Zotfile to store attached PDFs in a Dropbox folder. I am accessing the papers in that folder from my iPad and make changes to those files (adding highlights) that get synced back by Dropbox

I had (copiously) annotated three articles using the new PDF reader and then, quite foolishly, chose to "rename attachments" using Zotfile, to convert them into linked attachments (earlier they were s

if you then use zotfile to transfer the data to a Sync folder (Dropbox etc..) then you lose all annotations. It seems to pertain to this discussion:

3) Annotations from Mendeley will show up in the built-in PDF reader after import for stored files. ZotFile doesn't know anything about those annotations, though, and will wipe them out if you use it
