| This setting allows you to specify a base directory for linked files, so that links are functional on two computers with different directory structures (e.g., when a folder with linked files is synced through a service like Dropbox). For example, if the folder with your linked files is at ''/home/laptop/sync'' on your laptop and at ''/home/work/sync'' on your work computer, set those paths as the base directory on each respective machine. Zotero then only stores the links relative to that base directory, so the same "relative" links work on both computers. | This setting allows you to access linked files on multiple computers even when they're stored in different locations on each computer. You should set the base directory to the folder on each computer under which you store linked files. For example, if the folder with your linked files is at ''/Users/Sarah/Dropbox'' on your laptop and at ''C:\Users\Sarah\Dropbox'' on your work computer, set those paths as the base directory on each respective machine. If you add a linked file within the base directory, Zotero stores a relative path to that base directory rather than an absolute path. |
