I have Zotero standalone on both and the base directory syncing via Zotero storage while I use Zotfile to sync attachments in Dropbox. I am using Zotero (4.0.28.7) across two devices (PC and Mac). I have a similar problem but cannot seem to fix it with the steps above and I have also read this thread: I uploaded an image (in Spanish, sorry) so you can see how I've set things up: So then I set up the relative links base folder where my PDFs are stored, but the PDFs are still not being found. What I've done now is move the database into the default 'User's profile folder' (the path is '/home/gabriel/.zotero/zotero/fault/zotero/', don't really know how this is selected) This picks up my database just fine, but not my PDFs. I'd still like to know what I'm doing wrong though. Now that I'm using Zotfile, it allows me to set up a different folder to store my PDFs, so I guess the above is not an issue anymore.
Are you saying I should be doing this differently?

Since Zotero stores PDFs inside the 'storage' folder which is located in the same folder where the database is, that's the only way I could figure out how to do this.

I do this because that's how I keep my PDF attachments synced across my devices. I've been syncing my database with Dropbox for I'd say years now. I presume Zotfile (or Zotero) stored the full paths to each PDF taken from my desktop PC, and now it doesn't care that I indicate the correct folder where the PDFs are located. I've pointed both Zotero and Zotfile to the correct folder, to no avail. The issue is that when I go to my laptop (after Dropbox synced all PDFs into their new location and the Zotero database), the Zotero client there won't find any of the attached PDFs. This worked alright in my desktop PC, I just had to rename all my stored articles so that Zotfile could move them to their new location stored in folders named as years.

All my PDF attachments and the Zotero database are synced via Dropbox, which so far worked perfectly well.Ī few days ago I decided to install the Zotfile extension to be able to store all PDFs in folders according to their year of publication (as opposed to what Zotero does which is keep each PDF in a single folder with a random name) I have Zotero installed in my desktop PC and my Laptop.
(I read this thread but it is not what I'm looking for)
