Zojo

Zojo allows users to view their citations stored at zotero.org

You will need a Zotero account to use this app.

If you want to maintain a current copy of your citations in Zojo, you will need to enable sync in the settings page.

###### Version 2 ########

This version now includes support for downloading, annotating and uploading PDF attachments.

PDF attachments are stored on your SD card, make sure you have one in your phone/tablet.



This is an advance feature and I highly recommend that you create a BACKUP of your entire Zotero folder before you begin. I will NOT be responsible for any damage/loss of data.

The instructions are as follows .....

*** On your Desktop ***

1) Install Dropbox on your Desktop

2) Open a DOS prompt (with admin privilege) use the command "mklink /D full_path_to_zotero_storage_folder full_path_to_dropbox_folder/storage & pause"

This link from the zotero website provides additional details on how to find your zotero storage folder "https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data"

3) This will create a symbolic link to your storage folder and sync all your files in this folder.

There is a script written by Mikko Rönkkö for his app ZotPad that automates the whole process. It automates the symbolic link create. The link is http://zotpad.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/103395-what-is-a-symbolic-link-and-why-should-i-use-one-w

*** In the Zojo Android app ***

1) In the settings page click the "Link Dropbox (To view PDF attachments)

2) This will open a new page, click "Link with Dropbox"

3) Give Zojo permission to access Dropbox folder

Once all of this setup is complete, you will now see PDF attachments in the items.

There will be three buttons "Download", "Open" and "Upload"

"Download" --> Downloads the attachments to your SD card

"Open" --> Will open the folder in which the PDF file exists. You can use your favorite PDF viewer to open it.
*** Make sure you have an android app such as ES explorer to browse through your folders. ***

"Upload" --> Will upload the PDF file to Dropbox

I understand this can be a complex setup for some users. If you have any questions feel free to email me.
