zotero-better-bibtex VS onedrive

There a zotero plugin that stores the entire contents of your zotero db as an auto-updated bibtex file too.

Thanks for sharing these. I already use a number of these on your list. Though I don't use copy-by-link for files. For me one of the key purposes of zotero is that its the place where I keep these files so I don't have to keep them elsewhere where they aren't as easily searchable.

I'm excited to try the duplicates merger tool, I've been forever putting off this because the normal way is such a slog. The Tag one also looks good.

To add to the list, my key add-ons are:

- better bibtex, this one is essential for me as a latex user

- zotfile. This one is cool because if you add annotations to a pdf, like highlighting or comments while you read it, then zotfile will pull those out into notes in the zotero entry. This makes it really easy to see both that I've read this document, and what parts I thought were important.

I was going to suggest that you ask the BBT dev about it as I had no idea why that didn't work, then I saw this bug from 3 days ago: Bug: citekey formula does not update. That might be the issue!

Another problem is that no matter how much I tried, the two available Zotero plugins for Obsidian do not work for me (this https://github.com/mgmeyers/obsidian-zotero-integration and this https://github.com/hans/obsidian-citation-plugin). I am not sure if that is because I'm on Linux, but they just don't work. However, RStudio on Linux works great with Zotero, and I can easily add citations using the Better BibTeX for Zotero plugin (https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex) to create citation keys. That way, I can simply copy/paste the citation key (e.g. '@lastname2020') in the text and have it render into the citation when I render the file in Rstudio. I sometimes write documents with > 300 references, and Zotero running in a Windows VM, trying to refresh a huge word document would take a long time, and would lead to corrupt citations. That's no problem with a markdown/Rmarkdown document.

I have the Better BibTeX plugin in Zotero installed, which keeps ~/Research/refs.bib up-to-date with my entire Zotero library.

P.S. Better BibTeX addon grants even more luxurious experience.

I've been using the Better Bibtex plugin for zotero for a couple months now, and so far it seems to work flawlessly. You can export a .bib file attached to a zotero collection or library and it will automatically update it as you add things to the collection.

I use Zotero with the better bibtex addon. Works great. When I first started using zotero, I imported my existing bibtex library, so all my existing bibtex keys all worked. I use zotero as my library for everything and add bibtex keys to things I cite.

Better bibtex

here's a hunch assuming you tried the below client:

https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/blob/1a88d33be3e2c6747...

try changing that to e.g. the android (or windows) onedrive client's id.

this trick works for exchange (allowing third-party mail clients).

Syncthing might fit the bill, or just keep using Onedrive: https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive

I first started with this onedrive client https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive (+ the GUI package) and got it working fine, but it seems like a sync all-or-nothing deal.

Source: https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive

You could check out https://abraunegg.github.io/, I use that for syncing with my OneDrive.

* Via the OneDrive Client for Linux - https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive - this 'syncs' your data, bi-directional operation, open source and free. Supports Personal, Business & SharePoint account types and Shared Folders. A Docker container is also available for all major architectures (x86_64, ARMHF, AARCH64). If you need a GUI for onedrive client management use: https://github.com/bpozdena/OneDriveGUI

I have used an app called, appropriately, onedrive. The git repository and info is here. Once you connect to OneDrive (not hard to do at all) you can do anything in the folder and when you start the command from the CLI it will sync the files to your account and update the files on the server. There are a few custom options you can set to streamline. I used it for a long time syncing with Windows and it works great.

The client itself is 100% stable and functional enough for your use-case. To read up on the client, please visit: https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive
