I suspect know I’m not the only person out there that used ZotFile to manage their slightly-overflowing Zotero libraries. Turns out, ZotFile is incompatible with Zotero 7. After paging through a series of Zotero forum posts, I came across ZotMoov which functions more or less the same. I was pleasantly surprised to have no compatibility issues once I switched and could access all old files stored with ZotFile schema from ZotMoov.
One major shortcoming of ZotMoov (while I do not use it, forum-goers appear displeased) is that the “send to tablet” option doesn’t have a clear equivalence, though there appear to be some workarounds available.
My ZotMoov config was pleasantly simple; from the Zotero preferences or settings pane, a new tab for ZotMoov appeared post-install, and then I linked my cloud storage directories (blurred out for partial privacy) as I would with ZotFile. Voila!
