There's no release file current Zotero can install. The source stays linked for reference.
In useAn estimate of how many copies of Zotero have it: Zotero downloads each new version once for every copy that has the plugin, so we count the downloads of its most-downloaded recent release. Rounded. Plugins that update from outside GitHub count low.
4
DownloadsAll-time downloads of its release files from GitHub, counting every update. Installs from elsewhere aren't counted.
4
ReleasesVersions published on GitHub. Everyone who has the plugin downloads each one again, which adds up in Downloads.

Saves new PDFs as linked attachments in a separate synced folder, from drag and drop, the Connector or local imports, instead of Zotero's storage.
Lets Zotero sync items while a tool like Syncthing syncs the PDFs, so your data directory stays off cloud drives. Early release, tested only on macOS.
