Specifically, I don't think zotfiles on the second computer would recognise that the files are already in the custom directory and would simply duplicate everything and make a big mess. It seemed that moving the attached pdfs to a 'custom location' on one computer would work great but that problems would be encountered trying to get all the computers to sync to the same 'custom location'. The reason why I took the extra steps I detailed above was that zotfiles didn't seem to take into account that fact that I was using zotero on three different computers (and this doesn't seem to be addressed in instructions anywhere).
It is a pity Zotero cannot just store the files as a list of pdfs in a folder, it would make this so no worries and good luck with the job and thanks for helping. I'm not even sure if every step I took was necessary or if Zotfiles is capable of allowing the the files to be accessed & synced smoothly by each computer and an ipad. If someone can help me I'd really appreciate it. They did move, but on the computer that did not move them Zotero now reports that it cannot locate the files when I try to open them. I have highlighted everything in the library and renamed the attachments so that they will be moved. I have zotero on multiple computers syncing both the library and files with the zotero server.Ģ) Change Zotero on both computers to save my files on a webdav server and synced.ģ) Open a sugarsync account, set a zoterofiles folder on both computers, and in the zotfiles preferences set this folder as a custom location on both computers. But I have been trying to set it up and am having problems getting it to do what i hoped it would. Hi, I'm also excited about zotfiles because I love the idea of having a folder of pdfs that will sync with my ipad so that I can read and annotate them.
