Can I upload PDFs from my computer to my Zotero library?

Answer

You can upload PDF files from your computer by right-clicking on the title, selecting the Add Attachment and then Attach Stored Copy of File...  

Next, find the folder where you have stored the file on your coputer and attach it to the bibliographic record in Zotero.

The file will now appear in a sub-folder below the title.

Tip! Make sure you are saving all your files to the same folder on your computer by choosing the file path in the 'Advanced' option in 'Preferences' - for more information see the guidelines from Zotero
