Zotero citation management: Storage

Zotero is a free citation manager. This page offers information that will help you create and build a Zotero library, create and use groups to collaborate, and use Zotero to add properly formatted citations to your papers.

Zotero Storage

Zotero provides cloud-based storage, see the table below. "Zotero Storage synchronizes your Zotero library which includes citations, PDFs, images, etc. automatically among all your computers. This default setting will take most of your storage space* (especially PDFs). If you only want to sync the citations (just plain text) to save space, follow the directions below. 

  1. Open Zotero
  2. In Zotero, open Preferences
  3. Select the "Sync" tab in Preferences
  4. Deselect the Sync files (bottom two checkboxes)
  5. Ok

* You are warned when you approach your free space limit
