Description

ZotEZ² is a third-party client on Android for synchronizing, sorting and downloading articles that are managed with Zotero, and stored on either Zotero Servers, WebDav, Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive , and even locally.

In addition to the standard use of Zotero synchronization, ZotEZ² aims at facilitating file management for users of Zotero that chose to store their library database on another Cloud than the default ones.

Since ZotEZ² is currently "read-only", there is no risk of database corruption, even if your files are stored on a third-party Cloud, like Dropbox, GDrive or OneDrive.

ZotEZ² is the "read-only" version of a bigger project (Aziz, see Aziz, Lite!) intended to provide editing options as well as full side note management, for any of these reference management softwares: Papers (see our app EZPaperz), Zotero, and Mendeley (see MendEZ).

Free features :
  • Syncing your papers' library directly from Zotero servers, and connecting to a WebDav for stored pdf or linked pdf attachments.
  • **NEW** Syncing your groups and RSS feeds
  • Syncing of your papers' library with Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive. Or just accessing your local Zotero copy.
  • Option to choose from 3 different cloud types regarding the following three types of items: the zotero.sqlite library database, the standard "storage" PDF folder, and the remote "attachment" PDF folder.
  • Listing of papers / books and displaying their main information (title, authors, publisher, year published, ...)
  • Option to display cards with full article info
  • **NEW** Citation cards to copy/paste Nature-style citations to your android text editor.
  • Downloading pdfs and notes of a document
  • Accessing attached links
  • Sharing the pdf of a document
  • Searching within references
  • Advanced settings:
    - resetting library data and reference manager type

  • Local libraries: if you cannot put your library in a cloud, you can copy it on your local Android storage and load it into ZotEZ²! Read our tutorial for more information: http://zotez2.ezbio.net/index.php?p=blog&id=7
  • Secondary storage: you can choose to store the downloaded PDFs either on the internal memory or an external SD card!
  • (Beta) Fast Loading of papers: if you have a large number of papers, you can choose to load them at the same time as they are displayed, so that you can access them while the others are still loading.
  • (Beta) Altmetric scoring.
  • **NEW** Full text search for "Local library users".

    Extra features:
  • Sorting options (by tags, titles, types, authors, etc.)

  • Author’s tab: visualize your library directly from an author's perspective
  • Collection’s tab: organize your library with your collection tree

    Questions & Answers

    Q: What is an APK File?

    A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

    Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

    A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
    As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

    Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

    A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

    Q: What are Android App permissions?

    A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

    Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

    User's Reivew

    1 ★Don't buy this app. It's completely useless and not worth of a cent. The UI is like from the Stone Age. It's not easy to navigate comparing to some modern apps like Microsoft Outlook. Some items you can't even open and see what's about. Links don't open for some items. It would be nice if you could share a link from a web browser or YouTube or any other app to Zotero collection. But no. You can't even add anything manually. And updates are simply not coming.
    4 ★Great looking app, bought! Loaded my Zotero library and now I have permanent access! 3 problems I have encountered: 1) I don't know how to add new entries to my library. 2) Entries for edited volumes show an empty space for the author. They should show the editors. 3) Clicking to see entry details could be a lot smoother. Now I have to press the text, but it would be nice to have a nice [show] button or something. even a press-animation would help me browse more smoothly.
    4 ★Paid for the full version due to a good initial impression and the ability of accessing a local zotero repository. Everything worked fine for a while but now I sometimes get Nullpointer Exceptions for some Google Play function when trying to access any of the paid features. Update: Only seems to happen when using the old menu option
    4 ★Can't make Zotez2 recognize KO-reader as my default PDF application, I guess that must be my device's fault (Onyx Boox Note), but its what I need the most, no other app can substitute it, the workaround is to download and open the attachment in other app and then navigate the file system with KO-reader until I find it, is there a way to mass download all attachments to a single folder?
    2 ★Synced PDF not saved. E.g. when I click on a paper in ZotEZ^2 it downloads it and on the Android prompt I select Acrobat Reader to open it. I highlight with marker and when I close the reader it says "Document Saved". When I try to reopen, it opens a new file -1.pdf without my highlighting. If I highlight again save and reopen it opens a -2.pdf etc. When I use e.g. ESFileExplorer to open the pdf with Acrobat Reader directly from local ZotEZ folder, the PDF is saved correctly.
    4 ★Really usefull app! Recently switched from commercial reference managing software to Zotero. Access on mobile is important for me, so with cloud access provided in this app, you have plenty of space to store all your apps. Had some issue storing Zotero library on OneDrive, but on dropbox it seems to work fine for the moment.
    4 ★Love the new version. My Zotero library is now available on my Smart phone and Onyx Boox Note 2 E-Ink device. Current Issue: There is an issue with synching my library. If i add an item it shows up in Zotero Web, but after tapping synchronise in ZotEZ the item does not show up 🤔 Paid ZotEZ user. Could this be fixed? Update 11/02/2020, Yes synching is working again.
    2 ★At last a very cool looking Zotero client. Unfortunately, it only shows my personal library, but not my shared libraries. All the active libraries that I publish with, are shared with my co-authors. ZotDroid shows them faithfully. ZotEZ, you need to catch up!
    1 ★Without payment, the free version is worse than the Zotero web version. At least, in online zotero library, we have the content to find our notes in some folder. But this app just display every files in the screen. If you want to find a file in some folder, it's totally a disaster.
    2 ★Might be useful once essential features have been paid for to be unlocked, but off the shelf the program is pretty useless when trying to use it with an actual Zotero connection. Putting the word 'demo' in the title might save users time and the developers lukewarm reviews.
    1 ★Don't waste your time on trying to configure and use this app. Very unreliable and buggy, internal java errors warnings constantly pop up. Once your library grows beyond a few hundred references, it crashes so often it's essentially useless.
    3 ★It's good, it lets you access your library on the go. Collections filters are buggy unfortunately, and I'd like to see an option for automatically downloading PDFs within a collection. Generally interface is slow and not particularly well designed
