Zotero with 15GB free file storage?

I have been using Zotero as my bibliography management software since 2013 (migrating from EndNote) and have generally been happy with it (and I blogged about it before). Although our university provides EndNote access, most students will lose “free” access after leaving the university. A yearly subscription to EndNote used to set you back about €100 (in Finland via a reseller), which is an unnecessary expense in a student’s budget. EndNote’s “one-time purchase” model is, imho, deceptive marketing, because you are not eligible to major upgrades, which are released approximately yearly. The “upgrade fee” is usually about the same as the yearly subscription used to be.

I never understood why our university pays for proprietary reference management software. Perhaps some old people in the administration still live in the 90s of the last millennium when EndNote was de-facto the only decent reference management software for WYSYWIG text processors. But those times are long gone. Finally, our university is at least dumping one of its proprietary reference managers:
