More Zotero storage for your PDFs

Zotero includes 300 MB of free file storage. When your PDFs need more, you can keep using Zotero as usual and store the files with Refory.

What uses your Zotero storage?

Only attached files, such as PDFs and saved web pages. Your references, notes and collections don’t count, and files on your own computer are not limited.

Is Refory right for you?

  • Your PDFs in My Library no longer fit in Zotero’s free 300 MB.
  • You want to keep using Zotero exactly as before.
  • You don’t want to run your own server.

Not for shared group libraries

Group libraries can only sync files through Zotero Storage. Refory is independent and not affiliated with Zotero.

  • 50 GB for your PDFs
  • Reliable storage with backups for 30 days
  • Works with Zotero’s built-in settings, no plugin
  • Set up in minutes
