Finally, in the middle column of your library, right click (or command-click) on one or multiple references with attachments and select Manage Attachments > Send to Tablet. In the Sync pane of the Zotero preferences, click Choose Libraries and make sure that the library youre trying to sync has a checkmark next to it. Make sure that the Base directory field is blank.Ħ.

In my Nextcloud instance, I created a folder PhD/Zotero/zotero and configured and configured the directory PhD/Zotero to be accessible and editable using a link. Since the name of the folder configured to be shared does not show up in the URL, within the shared folder there has to be the zotero folder containing the actual synchronized attachments. Also consider if you want to use your global Nextcloud credentials (which I don’t recommend to do) or to create a dedicated shared folder for this, which will provide you with extra credentials just for this purpose. Please note that Zotero requires the path to end with zotero. Configuring the Synchronization of your Zotero Library to Nextcloudįirst, we need to create a folder in Nextcloud. Actually, it is quite easy to configure it accordingly, however, I spent some time on finding that out and there are also some open posts in the Zotero forums, therefore I’m going to document my solution here.

While synchronizing the bibliography entries meta data (authors, title, …) seems to be free and unlimited, only 300MB of document storage are for free per account. Zotero allows for attaching files to an entry, and furthermore allows for synchronizing the library as all as the attachments.
Therefore, I decided to always keep a digital copy of the document I’ve just read, just to ensure to be able to access the exact same version I have accessed before.

In this blog post, I show how to configure Zotero to synchronize your Zotero Library to Nextcloud.įor some of the research papers I’ve read during my research activities, there are several (mostly, but not always, similar) versions, for some other papers it is very difficult to find the document.
