Zotero sync across platforms(Zotero各平台同步)
Framework
The builtin sync function of zotero only provides limited free storage space. Therefore, we mainly use (Zotfile+anyCloudService you are using) to sync the attached pdf file of items of Zotero.
The benefits are three aspects:
- if we have a PC A and PC B both running zotero, if we add an item with pdf file on A, the same item with attached pdf appears on B.
- if we add an item without attached files, and we download pdf separately in another folder, it’ll automatically find and attach it. In the meantime, the downloaded pdf is moved to the folder which you usually put attached files in.
- Also, the pdf file is sorted very well in a clear folder structure, e.g. journal/ year, etc.
