I ran the Repair Database Tool, but my database is still corrupted

Reference ID: 6337ca5c54c57

The instructions here are pretty straightforward
https://www.zotero.org/utils/dbfix/
I was able to follow them easily enough, but when after completing the steps, I open the software to open a pdf, and it still throws the error "The attached file could not be found at the following path".

I also tried the manual steps, but the commands hung and never completed. Any suggestions? Right now, I have to manually locate every file and I'm often unable to find them.

Thank you!

    Attachments not being found wouldn't have anything to do with database corruption. I'm not sure why you thought it did? The database you uploaded wasn't corrupted.

    For missing files, see Files Not Syncing. But from the looks of it, you're just at your file sync quota, so additional files likely just weren't uploaded from the computer where you added them. Zotero would've been showing a warning about that on every sync on that computer. You'd need to sync the files from the other computer (either by adding a storage plan, using WebDAV, or transferring the entire data directory).
