Huh, that's interesting! Do you know of a blog post where this is spelled out?
I use my Nextcloud install (since it provides a WebDAV interface). In the options under the Sync tab, I select WebDAV as the File Syncing type and for the URL I put: my.nextcloud.server.com/remote.php/webdav with the appropriate credentials. Works flawlessly.

#52Zotero is awesome. 80% of the academic type people I've introduced it to have switched. The other 20% have Endnote stockholm syndrome.

#53This software is available in 30+ langauge, but not in any Indian langauge. I wonder why developers Ignore translation of softwares in Indian Languages. If dev team is reading this, please contact me. I would translate this software in Hindi language. Update: I wonder why this comment got downvoted any without explaination. HN is not same, as it used to be.
Translators are welcome to help. Read this: https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/localization

Even though I also like Zotero better because of its open nature, I prefer Mendeley in practice mostly because it has a decent Android client where you can just sync all your PDFs and read them on a tablet or something. Seemed a bit more involved to do the same with Zotero (where it seemed there were only minimal Android clients quickly hacked together). Mendeley also has 2GB storage, so that's nice for personal use…
> I definitely don't feel that I'm enabling or > supporting Elsevier somehow in using their freeware. If instead of using Elsevier's freeware you were to file bug reports - not code just reports - on Zotero then you could be helping improve the software. And when you suddenly _do_ need to collaborate you'll find that you are using the same tool you have gotten used to, instead of the dissonance of using a tool that i…

#59But since I am a LaTeX/LyX person, I also wrote an extension that lets Mac users automatically add newly saved citations to BibDesk: http://mackerron.com/zot2bib/

#60I use Mendeley instead of Zotero. I really wanted to like Zotero, since I hate Elseveir like the next guy, but Zotero didn't have any of the look-up features and ability to quickly import my papers (thousands). In Mendeley, I can just throw a physical folder into a folder and it'll tag and categorize the PDFs mostly correctly. I mean it is nice that Zotero has an import browser plugin (which, btw, Mendeley does as we…
Mendeley is an Elsevier product? Might make a few academics come to a differing conclusion given Elsevier's reputation is one they've well and truly earned...
What is the proper way to store PDFs that I annotate (say, using Okular in Linux) on Zotero with the ability to send them to other researchers and then update them?
I don't mind paying money for cloud storage, but I gotta be able to work with the pdfs.
