 ===How can I access my library from multiple computers?  Can I store my Zotero library and associated files on an external drive?===
-The best way to access your Zotero library from multiple computers is to use [[/support/sync|Zotero Sync]]. Zotero Sync will automatically sync your library data using the Zotero servers. Attachment files can be synced using the Zotero servers or using a third-party [[/support/sync#webdav|WebDAV servers]].

-You absolutely must not store your Zotero database in a cloud-syncing folder (e.g., Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive); this will lead to data corruption. You can [[/support/sync#alternative_syncing_solutions|configure Zotero to sync your attachment files using these services]] while using Zotero Sync to sync your library data.

 If, for whatever reason, you cannot use Zotero's built-in sync features, you can also store your [[:zotero_data|Zotero data directory]] on an external hard drive and use this to move your Zotero data between computers. You can set your Zotero installation on each computer to point to the external drive in the [[preferences/advanced|Advanced]] pane of Zotero preferences.
-Another option is to [[kb/portable_zotero|run a copy of Zotero directly from a portable drive]].
