 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.

 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.
