This is exactly the connection I've been looking for between Zotero and Obsidian. Thank you so much for the guidance on how to set it up!

Hello Sir, thank you for sharing this clever strategy to sync the two. I was able to slow the video to follow the steps to successfully setup the bi-directional sync. Thank you so much for helping out. I look forward to more of your valuable video that I (not a coder) can understand. I just tested and this is just absolutely life-altering. I am just awestruck by how this works--wow! Thank you so much Sir.

Thank you so much! Your videos have been so helpful. I find them to be the clearest and most succinct explanations on obsidian/zotero. Thank you for your hard work and when you get time, please make more videos:)

I have exported the json file from Zotero and put it into the Obsidian folder. I can see the My Library.json file in the folder. I have enabled the citation plugin, but I´m not able to set the citation database path. Have tried to do as in the video with the folder name path, but it continues to write "the citation export file cannot be found, please check the path above. When I type in the path, no suggestions are presented. I have tried to restart my mac, but it does not resolve the problem. Do you have any suggestions what I´m doing wrong?

Thank you for your video. When I generate the note on Obsidian, however, the bidirectional link does not work. It simple spits out a string of Zotero://select/items... that is not clickable. Any idea where I am going wrong?

Thanks a lot for the video. I could upload the library but when I press control shift E and select an article nothing happens. Can you please help me through it ??

This looks interesting, but it's too fast to follow. (For me, anyway) Or write down the steps somewhere. (Have you written them down somewhere?)

Make some of thesis formating / scientific writing

Update: I found I was wrong. The sync automatically updates the library accessible via Obsidian. When I added a few sources, they were easily accessed in Obsidian immediately. So easy and smart method!

I use iOS and placed the export of my Zotero library in my Obsidian vault in my iCloud. I presume we need to manually export the Zotero library as we update it? That worked for me but maybe there's a way to set Zotero library to automatically update. I looked at so many videos but Dr. Das's method is the most efficient and effective way to integrate Zotero and obsidian.
