Getting ZotEZ2 out of the box!!
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! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.ezbio.azizlite for more info) 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 :
**NEW** Syncing your papers' library directly from Zotero servers, and connecting to a WebDav for stored pdf or linked pdf attachments.
Syncing of your papers' library with Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive. Or just accessing your local Zotero copy.

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.
