Zotero is a free and open source bibliography management software, but the current cross-platform synchronization methods have their shortcomings and cannot meet the needs of individual use.

Based on the above, I wrote this iOS/iPadOS shortcut that helps you automatically open the corresponding PDF with Zotero Web Library opened in Safari. Annotations can be synced across platforms. The effect is as follows:

1. Create a Zotero account and log in to the Zotero client (do not turn on the attachment sync feature yet).
2. Install the Zotfile plugin and set up attachments to a cloud sync folder such as OneDrive.
3. Go back to Zotero's settings and store attachments to relative path.
4. Turn on Zotero's sync feature again (if you want to sync resources other than PDFs).

1. Login to Zotero web app and go to Settings -> Feeds/API.
2. Make a note of the number shown in the "xxxxxxx" position in the diagram as user ID (userid).
3. Click "Create new private key", go all the way to the next step (notes access can also be opened), after generating the key don't leave the page, copy it as API Key (APIKey).

1. Add a connection and bind the cloud drive you are using (e.g. OneDrive) in the bottom left corner at "Connections".
2. Select the attachment folder (in the example, ZoteroFiles), click on "..." in the bottom right corner, and select "Sync".
3. Open "Synced Folders" in "My Documents", you should see that the folder you just selected has been synced, just wait patiently until the sync is complete.
4. Here you need to remember the name of the attachment folder you just set up, i.e. the synced folder name (syncedFolder).

1. Upgrading iOS to 13 or above.
2. Install a shortcut command via this link, turn on the "Share Form" function, and allow access to the Internet.
3. In the question that pops up, fill in "User ID", "API Key", and "Sync Folder Name" based on what you have written down.

1. Open any web page, click on the share button in the upper right corner, and slide to the bottom to "Edit Action".
2. Place "ZotExpert" in your preferred location.

1. Open My Library on the Zotero website in Safari and switch to the new version (Try the New Web Library Beta in the top right corner).
2. Tap Attachments on any paper and share it to ZotExpert.
3. Enjoy!!
