Zotero

Zotero, a project of the Corporation for Digital Scholarship, offers online storage space specifically designed to accommodate the synchronization and sharing of research files such as PDFs, images, and web snapshots across multiple devices. The service supports individual users as well as labs and institutions, featuring storage plans that range from a free 300 MB option to paid plans which include 2 GB for $20/year, 6 GB for $60/year, and an unlimited storage option for $120/year. Group file storage capabilities allow the sharing of Zotero attachments in group libraries, with storage usage counted against the group owner’s account. The development, maintenance, support, and infrastructure of Zotero are funded through storage subscriptions from both individuals and organizations. This funding model supports Zotero’s mission as part of the nonprofit Corporation for Digital Scholarship, which aims to develop tools and services for researchers and cultural heritage institutions.
