This is the Cloud version of the Zotero/GoogleDrive PDF-Linker.
It does not need an exported CSV file of your library, but syncs articles from your Zotero-Cloud account, with shareable links from a folder in your Google Drive.
If your local PDFs are not yet uploaded/synced to your Google Drive, this tool will do that for you too.
Install pyzotero and pydrive via pip:
sudo pip install pyzotero pydrive
Run ./src/run.py <config file>
A template config file can be generated via the --make-config parameter, producing the following file:
[Google Drive]
# use pdfs from this folder, or if the folder
# doesn't exist, create it
# as a new directory at top-level root.
folder name = MyPDFs
[Zotero Settings]
# can be found at https://www.zotero.org/settings/keys, 'create new private key'
api key = N4vY534Lt0pCl455
# library id found at https://www.zotero.org/settings/keys, 'your userid for api calls is <libraryid>'
user library id = 1234567
user collection name = mycollection
[PDF Settings]
# what to do with each pdf:
# - any conjunction of attaching the pdf as a child item,
# and/or overwriting or clearing the url field of the item
# - valid modes are: attach_pdf, remove_pdf, url_set, url_clear
mode = attach_pdf
#
# pdfs are either handled internally by zotero and synced to their servers
# or are accessed from an external path on your local machine.
# - if you use zotero storage, provide the cache directory, or the full external path /foo/bar/pdfs/etc/
# - zotero storage folder in linux is at '~/.zotero/zotero/<blah>.default/zotero/storage/'
# and in windows is likely under the appdata folder somewhere
storage = /change/this/pathThis file can then be passed in as first parameter to the run script.
Do not nest directories for best results.
As before, this is not a one-time only operation. Every time you add to your library, you will need to re-run the script. Thankfully it only edits items that do not already have links.
