Big loss: Accidentally lost Zotero account that I have had for 8 years. Biggish win: Connecting one Zotero account across all my machines.
@treyemoss How did you lose your account? I didn't think this was possible. Now you've got me scared!!
@jenniferguo I can’t figure out what email the old account was connected to. I’m afraid it was my old email at my former employer. And I can’t change the password. I’ve got my new accounted connected to my general gmail now, so this won’t happen again.
@treyemoss @jenniferguo Also set Zotero to make regular Bibtex exports that you then back up to cloud storage. That way you can always import the Bibtex in case of account issues.
@porterblepeople @treyemoss @jenniferguo Note that an export isn’t a true backup. In addition to using Zotero syncing, we always recommend proper backups of the Zotero data directory, ideally as part of an automated full-computer backup (e.g., Time Machine on Macs). zotero.org/support/zotero…
