Do you want to read PDFs in Zotero on your tablet but don't want to pay for Zotero's cloud? Here's a little trick 👇
1. Make sure your PDFs are on a cloud storage system of your liking but linked to Zotero. twitter.com/eurunuela/status/1550526178057891840
2. Find the paper you want to read on the Zotero app and click on the "Add attachment" button. Then find the PDF that is stored on your cloud storage. You can now read, highlight, and takes notes in the Zotero app!
3. Once you're done reading: • Make sure you delete the PDF on your cloud storage (you should only have the version on your tablet now) • Right click on the paper → Manage Attachments → Rename and Move Your highlighted PDF will be back on your cloud storage 💫
