188BET靠谱吗zotero downloads all files - even if not told so

188BET靠谱吗I have configured my Zotero 6.0.30 for Windows 11 configured as follows:

188BET靠谱吗https://s3.amazonaws.com/zotero.org/images/forums/u543677/ae3c3c6uzlqlhpec895e.png

188BET靠谱吗The storage folder for the attachments is OneDrive symlinked in the Zotero folder.

188BET靠谱吗Despite my "if needed" choice, Zotero downloads all the attachments.

Why?188BET靠谱吗Is it possible to tell Zotero to download only the files I double-click to read?

    But you're saying the 'storage' folder symlinked to OneDrive, right?So that's going to have all the files you add on any computer.188BET靠谱吗That has nothing to do with Zotero file sync.188BET靠谱吗You're at your Zotero storage quota, so all your files aren't even on the Zotero servers to download.

    Sorry, symlinked to OwnCloud.

    Owncloud is configured to only host virtual files.

    188BET靠谱吗As the files were indeed downloaded, I thought it was due to Zotero accessing the files, thus forcing Owncloud to download the content.

    188BET靠谱吗When you use Zotero file syncing, it needs to check local files to see if they've been changed.

    188BET靠谱吗But if you're symlinking the storage folder to some cloud folder, you should just disable Zotero file syncing.I don't understand why you have that enabled at all.

    In any case, I'm afraid this isn't a configuration we can help with.

    I left the sync on because I annotate documents on two different computers.188BET靠谱吗If I disable syncing what I do on a computer stays there and is not transferred to the second Zotero installation.

    Annotations will sync without file sync, though

    I am able to have everything in sync as long as "sync automatically" is set.I do not really understand what "sync full-text content" means (it is not explained in the linked help page).

    If I disable "sync automatically" then highlights and notes are not synced.
  • adamsmith
    We're talking about file sync, i.e."sync attached files"
  • thistlillo
    Ok, understood.I disabled that.Thank you.

    Regarding your question about the meaning of 'sync full-text content', it's the text indexing of your attachments that allows full text searching ...
