For example, if the folder with your linked files is at ''/ | ||

+ | == Unsafe Data Directory Locations == | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are several data directory locations that are potentially unsafe and **likely to lead to database corruption or even data loss**. If you use any of these setups, be sure to [[zotero_data|back up]] your Zotero data frequently. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **Cloud-syncing folders**: Storing your Zotero data directory in a cloud-syncing folder (e.g., Dropbox, Google Drive, or other similar folder synchronization services) is extremely unsafe and will almost certainly lead to database corruption and potentially data loss. The forums contain [[http:// | ||
+ | * **Network drives**: If you store your Zotero data directory on a network drive and then access it from multiple computers at the same time, you are very likely to encounter database corruption. For example, if you leave Zotero open on your laptop, then open the same Zotero database on the network drive from your work computer, you will likely experience corruption. You should never use a network drive to permit multiple users to access the same Zotero database on different machines (use [[Groups]] or [[sync|Zotero syncing]] for that). | ||
+ | * **Virtual machines**: Similar to issues with network drives, it can be unsafe to use the same Zotero database file from both a virtual machine and the computer' | ||
