In the desktop version, Zotero stores all data locally on your computer by default. The synchronization feature allows access to data and attached files, such as PDFs, images, or snapshots, from different devices and the collaborative management of literature within your research group.
A privacy-friendly option for active TUM members is synchronization via WebDAV. Here, you store your Zotero libraries on your personal TUM drive. To set this up, go to the Sync preferences tab in the Zotero settings, select "Sync with WebDAV," enter the following details, and click "Verify Server."
- URL: webdisk.ads.mwn.de/hcwebdav/Home
- Username: Your TUM ID prefixed with "\ADS" in the form ADS\ka21bab
- Password: Your corresponding password
Usage Duration
You can continue using Zotero even after completing your studies or employment at TUM. However, if you use WebDAV synchronization, please note that access to your personal TUM drive will only be available for a limited time after you leave.
