difference between Webdav vs zotfile Linked file attachments

a.abdul-rahman

Hi,

188BET靠谱吗Looking at the documentations available in Zotero and elsewhere ( 188BET靠谱吗//www.brodersterzo.com/support/sync; 188BET靠谱吗https://guides.lib.berkeley.edu/zotero/sync), I seem to notice it has not been spelled out explicitly what the differences (pros, cons, requirements, impact, implications etc) between the two are.Why would someone choose one over the other?

188BET靠谱吗I am migrating from Mendeley and would like to set up my Zotero from the get-go correctly or to the best arrangement for my needs, and this information would be very useful.

I'd be grateful for any help with this.

Thank you.

(That's about stored files vs.linked files, which is the more important distinction.188BET靠谱吗But with WebDAV specifically (instead of Zotero Storage), some of the benefits of stored files — such as access via zotero.org — go away.)

I asked the same question from a different angle here: 188BET靠谱吗https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/95814/difference-between-using-webdav-and-e-g-dropbox

So this is useful:

188BET靠谱吗> with WebDAV specifically (instead of Zotero Storage), some of the benefits of stored files — such as access via zotero.org — go away.

@dstillmanso you are webDAV files are stored files, i.e.188BET靠谱吗they are managed by zotero in the same way as files on zotero storage?

Except for some benefits?Could you clarify what they are?188BET靠谱吗When you say that they can't be accessed via zotero.org, I assume that you mean I can't view them in the zotero web library, right?I rarely use the weblibrary, but I still wonder: if the webDAV url is stored in the library, why can't I access the file via the weblibrary?
