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

Answer

You can upload PDF files from your computer by first right-clicking on the file. This will bring up a sub-menu, giving you three options: Attach the file, link the file or create a web link.

When you click on 'File', you will be asked to find the location of the file. Select 'Open' it will appear in a sub-folder below the title - you may need to click on the chevron on the left-hand side to see the sub-folder:

Tip! The weblink option can cause issues if the URL becomes unavailable or if the folder is renamed. Use with caution.
