Upgrade Storage188BET靠谱吗Google Drive vs Zotero storage
188BET靠谱吗Hello Zotero community.
188BET靠谱吗When I upload a file to Zotero, instead of uploading to Google Drive as I have set in the preferences, it uploads to Zotero Storage.I then have to go into Zotfile to rename it and upload it to Drive.Why?
188BET靠谱吗I should add that I have to use Zotero 6 Windows to do all this, as Zotfile does not seem to work in version 7.The Mac version is even more complicated.
188BET靠谱吗I understand that one want to address the Zotero storage system, but it is expensive and inconvenient for those who have a large database related to the university where he works.

188BET靠谱吗By 'uploads to Zotero Storage' do you mean online Zotero storage ?188BET靠谱吗If so, and if you just started using Zotfile, chances are you may have Zotero file syncing still turned ON (under Edit\Preferences\Sync).After turning that to OFF, a PDF downloaded via the Web Connector will be moved by Zotfile as a linked attachment file to the Custom Location folder (as set in Zotfile preferences).
I will try to be more specific.
188BET靠谱吗By "upload" I mean dragging and dropping files from my computer to the Zotero Desktop App Library.
188BET靠谱吗By 'Zotero Storage' I mean the folder dedicated to Zotero locally (on my computer).
About ZotFile I know, it's a peaty.188BET靠谱吗I'm using Zotero 6.I'm not Shure that Attanger is an official plug in.
I hope my answers are clear, and thank you again for your attention.
188BET靠谱吗If you want to add *existing* PDF files on your computer to Zotero (that do not yet have Zotero items) as linked files in a Google drive folder, you can do it two ways.The second way is basically how you have done it so far.188BET靠谱吗This applies to Zotero v6 (some things could differ under the v7 beta).
1.Copy or move the PDF files into the Google Drive folder (if not already there).188BET靠谱吗Then use Zotero's Ctrl+Shift (in Windows) drag and drop to add them to Zotero as linked files.188BET靠谱吗Zotero will take a moment to read the file and try to extract metadata (during which it may look as if nothing is happening), and then look for more online.If it finds sufficient data, it will create the parent item and place the linked PDF attachment under that item.It it can't find information to create the parent, the file will be added as a standalone PDF file (you can then manually create the parent item under the right click menu).The linked PDF file will not be renamed.

2.188BET靠谱吗If the files are not already in the Google Drive folder, drag the PDF files into Zotero (without the above Ctrl+Shift modifier for linked files).188BET靠谱吗Zotero will create the parent item as above, if it can.188BET靠谱吗Zotero will make a *copy* of the PDF file in an arbitrarily-named folder under Zotero\storage.188BET靠谱吗Then, use the right-click menu to invoke Zotfile's Manage Attachments\Rename & Move, which will move the file out of Zotero storage to Zotfile's Custom Location folder (set to Google drive), as a linked file (and also rename it).
You can select multiple PDF files for these processes.It's a good idea to do them in manageable-size chinks rather than all at once.
188BET靠谱吗Method #2 is the one I have been using for a long time with Zotero for Windows 6, in part because it allows me to automatically rename attached files based on the metadata and my additions to the Zotero record.
188BET靠谱吗I must have missed something, because I still don't understand why Zotero has to "copy" the attached file to its own arbitrary location when in the settings I have configured a specific local folder for attachments that is itself synced with Google Drive.188BET靠谱吗The issue gets more complicated with Zotero 7, with Mac and the incompatibility with Zotfile.
188BET靠谱吗Too bad, in simplicity lies the power of success, although Zotero's real secret weapon is its community.
Thank you.
Thank you @gduffner188BET靠谱吗I will try Attanger that I couldn't find in Zotero 188BET靠谱吗//www.brodersterzo.com/support/plugins.
188BET靠谱吗About Mac iPadOS Zotero app: I miss the possibility to read the attachment.
