Zotero Sync preview version
by Jason on Jul.08, 2008, under software
Zotero has just released its public beta of Zotero Sync, allowing you to maintain your Zotero library on multiple computers. This is a feature I’ve really been waiting for, and it’s a precursor to the forthcoming Zotero Server providing online storage of references.
Read the documentation at that link — there are warnings about changes to library formats and such that are worth paying attention to before proceeding.
I haven’t tried it out myself yet, but will post my impressions after I’ve worked with it for a bit.
Small update: I got an error message when I tried to update my database to the new version. I worked around it by exporting my library, deleting everything in my Zotero directory (after zipping up a backup copy, of course), restarting Firefox and importing my library again.
