webDAV syncing with IDriveSync is working
Hi
188BET靠谱吗just a short note to say that the webDAV feature of https://www.idrivesync.com/ appears to work well with Zotero.
Initially, it did not work but the support team was able to sort out the problem at their end within a few days.
The upside is that you get 10GB storage space with a free account!when I signed up there even was a promotion for more free space if you signed up with an .edu or .ac.uk type email.
I thought this could be useful to some looking for a webDAV storage solution.

Any suggestions on what the problem could be?
Thank you
initially I got exactly the same error message.After sending a message to the support, they sorted it out and it worked ever since.Maybe they need to change a setting per account?

Did you speak with somebody specific at IDriveSync?Or can provide any more detail on what was tweaked on the IDriveSync side, to make it work?
188BET靠谱吗I've been trying to set up Zotero with their WebDAV service, but it is not working.I emailed, called, and had an online chat session, with their tech.support.Neither of those could answer the question, and all three said that they need to check with their development team.Since then, I haven't heard back so far.
188BET靠谱吗If you go to about:config—either by typing about:config in the Firefox address bar (Zotero for Firefox) or via the Advanced pane of the Zotero prefs—and search for extensions.zotero.sync.storage.verified and set it to true to manually bypass the verification, syncing might just work, though there's no guarantee.
Ekcheng, what's your secret word for IDriveSync support?It's been 48+ hours since I emailed them, then called, then had an online chat, and I am yet to hear from somebody with any suggestion / solution.
Note: IDriveSync's WEBDAV compatibility is limited to single file operations, such us for use within iWork to open and edit or view a document directly.It is not meant for extensive operations involving large number of files with a single command.For extensive use, use the provided desktop and mobile clients.
So finally, after 2 weeks of begging their tech support for some kind of an answer, I have it here.But still haven't heard from them directly.Needless to say, this is NOT my idea of how a business should run its customer service / tech support.I will strongly recommend AGAINST using them in the future.
E.g.188BET靠谱吗cloudMe seems to work for everyone and specifically encourages people to use it for Zotero:

there might be others.

188BET靠谱吗I think, and please correct me here, what I should have done and am now doing is to (1) leave the zotero directory in the FF profile directory and simply setup and empty webdav server directory to handle the syncing.188BET靠谱吗So what I should see in idrivesync is /zotero/*.zip and a .prop file.
Correct?
188BET靠谱吗Also, zotero seems to throw a 500 error for every couple of uploads, but seems to clear it and then resume after a couple of minutes.
Correct?
Edit: I should note that, for me, this was happening on box.net
Some data-loss we'd likely never hear of.
