I'm using Zotero's $20/year for 2GB space membership and it was quick and easy to set up. Works great too.

My library is about 4gb, and will probably hit 6 or 7gb in the next year as I make sure I have a copy of all papers in it. I'm already paying for G Drive however (previously I had One Drive), and would rather have one bill, and everything in one place (control over my own data, and all that).

For me, it is better to separate the file sync into other professional software (such as dropbox) as they do it more professionally. Use Zotero only for handling index and metadata, and you'll also get much larger space, more stable service for a cheaper price.

Fully agree. This is exactly what I've been trying to do :-)
