-WebDAV is a standard protocol for transferring files over the web, and it can be used to sync files in your personal library.(Group libraries cannotcurrentlyuse WebDAV.) Your employer or research institution may be able to provide WebDAV storage.Otherwise, there are many third-party options, both free and paid (see [[kb:188BET靠谱吗webdav_services|WebDAV providers known to work with Zotero]]).

 Once you have your WebDAV account info, enter the URL provided by the service, your username, and your password in the [[preferences/sync#file_syncing|Sync preferences tab]].Be sure to select 'http'or 'https'as appropriate — if you're not sure, try 'https'first.After entering the information,click "Verify Server".188BET靠谱吗If Zotero successfully verifies the WebDAV account, you're all set to use file syncing via WebDAV.

 BET靠谱吗Zotero file sync should work with any correctly functioning WebDAV server.188BET靠谱吗Zotero developers cannot provide support for third-party WebDAV servers.
-==== Linked File Attachments ====
-BET靠谱吗In your personal library, you can also sync Zotero files across computers using [[attaching_files#File_Copies_and_Links|linked files]].188BET靠谱吗Rather than attaching stored copies of files to Zotero items, you can attach links to files stored in a cloud-sync folder, such as Dropbox or Google Drive.When using linked attachments,188BET靠谱吗you should set up Zotero's [[:preferences/advanced#188BET靠谱吗linked_attachment_base_directory|Linked Attachment Base Directory]] feature so that Zotero can find your files on each computer, even if the path to the cloud-sync folder differs.The [[plugins#attachment_file_management|ZotFile plugin]] can make managing linked attachments easier by automatically moving attachment files to a designated folder as you import them.
