Why does Zotero File Storage cost more than Cloud Service X?
Zotero File Storage involves more than just a pile of hard drives. The Zotero development team and the Corporation for Digital Scholarship have built an entire service architecture devoted to the needs of researchers, including the ability to move files seamlessly between group and personal libraries, and to access these files easily via the Zotero client or at zotero.org. Physically storing the files is just one component of a service that allows for real-time synchronization and distribution among multiple computers and individual and group users. Despite this complexity, Zotero File Storage pricing remains comparable to many far more basic, online backup services.
