 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.
-See [[#alternative_syncing_solutions|Alternative Syncing Solutions]] for more details.
-Linked files cannot currently be used in group libraries.
 ===== Syncing In Practice =====
 BET靠谱吗If Zotero is set to sync automatically,changes will be synced within a few seconds of being made.188BET靠谱吗Otherwise, you can start a manual sync by clicking the sync button on the right-hand side of the Zotero toolbar.
-BET靠谱吗If you enter the same login information into the Sync preferences on multiple computers, Zotero will sync everything transparently.188BET靠谱吗Your attention should only be needed if the same item or file is edited in two different places before Zotero has a chance to sync them.In this instance, youwillbe presented with a conflict resolution window, where you can decide which changes to accept.

 BET靠谱吗If you want to use Zotero data syncing but use an external service to sync just your Zotero attachment files, you have a couple options:
-- The easiest method is to use [[attaching_files#stored_files_and_linked_files|linked files]], rather than stored copies of files,and to storeonly your attachment files in the externally synced folder.The [[plugins#attachment_file_management|ZotFile plugin]] can make this simple by automatically moving attachment files to a designated folder as you import them.188BET靠谱吗You should also set up Zotero's [[:preferences/advanced#188BET靠谱吗linked_attachment_base_directory|Linked Attachment Base Directory]] feature to point to the same folder so that Zotero can find your files on each computer, even if the path to the cloud storage folder differs.
