This took a long time especially with 20,000 references and crashed a few times… In my case it crashed after 5,600 import. This step may take several hours depending on the size of library and the speed of your connection. I use the following organization for the file but this really does not matter.

Extensive tutorial about Zotero (a bit outdated for some aspects). It is more complex to master than Mendeley, but finally I decided to switch to Zotero because it has more or less all the functions I need in particular, creating public and private groups. It is open source and has many plugins which add a lot of functions. It only interface at present with Google docs, not Word nor Overleaf It imports very easily the Mendeley database and data structure by going directly to the Mendeley web interface (it does not read your local Mendeley database) but I do not really like the interface and the search capacities are super limited. Also does not import easily Mendeley folder structure. I did not like really the interface and it lacked some of capabilities of Mendeley. It is owned by a big company related to the Nature group. So basically, I am exporting references as Bibtex. I switched completely to Latex using Oveleaf for collaborative work and have no intent whatsoever to switch back to Word. One caveat is that I do not use Word or Google docs to write up papers. One key issue is that starting from version 1.19 of the Mendeley desktop manager, Mendeley encrypeted the Mendeley database that resides on your computer and therefore other applications cannot access the SQlite Mendeley database which makes any transfer to another reference manager painful. I do not care too much about the notes but I care about the folder structure especially as I am dealing with taxonomy and have folders for different taxonomy levels. My Mendeley database contains about 20,000 references neatly organized in folders and some with notes in the pdf.
