God bless you for this video, I've spent hours trying to figure out how to get Zotfile to move my already downloaded PDFs into the synced Drive folder.

Thank you, this was useful. What happens when you sync an already existing folder in your computer to 'backup & sync" vs creating a folder in google drive and then doing it.

Secondly, can please say something about how to move my entire Zotero library of like about 200 references with pdfs attached, to a sync folder? Thanks again.

So, do we need to manually click 'rename and move' for every new pdf attached? or could it be automatically synchronized?

Your videos are amazing!
I want to contact you regarding writing workflow if that possible
