-BET靠谱吗By default, Zotero will merge your local Zotero library with your library on zotero.org — any changes you make in one place will be applied to the other and on all other synced computers.If an item has changed in multiple places in conflicting ways between syncs, you'll receive a conflict resolution dialog asking which version you'd like to keep.In the rare case that you want to completely overwrite your online library with the contents of your local library (such as if you restore from a local backup after accidentally deleting data and then syncing), you can use the [[kb:Sync Reset Options]].

 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.
