In your personal library, you can also sync Zotero files across computers using [[attaching_files#File_Copies_and_Links|linked files]]. Rather than attaching stored copies of files to Zotero items, you can attach links to files stored in a cloud-sync folder, such as Dropbox or Google Drive. When using linked attachments, you should set up Zotero's [[:preferences/advanced#linked_attachment_base_directory|Linked Attachment Base Directory]] feature so that Zotero can find your files on each computer, even if the path to the cloud-sync folder differs. The [[plugins#attachment_file_management|Zotfile plugin]] can make managing linked attachments easier by automatically moving attachment files to a designated folder as you import them. | In your personal library, you can also sync Zotero files across computers using [[attaching_files#File_Copies_and_Links|linked files]].
