=== Dropbox Sync === Overleaf is actually really good at allowing for a combination online/offline workflow, and keeping documents in sync. Most of us have this set up through Dropbox sync. In your Overleaf account settings you can set this up. Once you do that, all of your Overleaf projects will appear in <code>~/Dropbox/Apps/Overleaf/</code>. If you don't want to fiddle with account settings on Overleaf, you can also simply: * Get [https://retorque.re/zotero-better-bibtex/ Better Bibtex] on your Desktop Zotero app. * Export your collection/library to "auto" update from Zotero (See [https://wiki.communitydata.science/CommunityData:Build_papers#The_bibliography_file this] below) to an auto-syncing Dropbox folder. You will probably need to have the DropBox Desktop app. ** To avoid exporting fields in Zotero that you don't want, like ISBN of a conference paper, go to Edit > Preference > Export > Fields, and type the fields you don't want in the appropriate box. Do this *before* you export your auto-updating collection/library. * Follow the instructions here to link the .bib file that is auto-exported by Better Bibtex and synced to Dropbox to your Overleaf, but note the changes for Google Drive: https://www.overleaf.com/learn/how-to/How_can_I_upload_files_from_Google_Drive%3F * For DropBox-synced files: ** On Overleaf, upload a new file by selecting "From external URL". Copy and paste the URL from the link to the file that DropBox gives you for the file you saved your collection/library as. It will look like <code>https://www.dropbox.com/s/[NUMBERS_AND_LETTERS]/[FILENAME].bib?dl=0</code>. ** Replace <code>dl=0</code> with <code>raw=1</code> ** Enter the "File Name In This Project" for the Overleaf project (e.g. refs.bib). This is what you'll refer to your bib file as in the TeX, and hit Create. * When there are changes made on Zotero, note that you need to "refresh" the file on Overleaf to get the updated/synced file.
