Open with: Sideload.Once you installed Zotero, we need to setup the library sync. To do so, start Zotero and go to
Edit > Preferences > Sync, enter your Username and Password click Set Up Syncing.Once you are succesfully connected, we now need to setup syncing of attachment files with your Nextcloud backend. This can be done in
Edit > Preferences > Sync as well. Just make sure you select ✓ Sync attachment files in My Library using: WebDAV and enter your Nextcloud server details in the shown form:
