[report id 707502343]Zotero 7, linked attachment not clickable
Hi Zotero community!
I updated my zotero to 7 yesterday. Everything works just fine but I cannot click on some paper entries that not contain downloaded files from the cloud storage. In other words, I have these paper entries long ago and stored in another computer.

Has anybody got the same issue? Is there a quick fix and or any plugin to re-link the attachment to the cloud storage?
Below are the settings for PDF cloud storage address.

All I want is simply if I want to access one entry on the cloud storage, I can click on it and then download the one from the cloud storage.
Thanks a lot,
Sihao

You don't say what cloud storage service this is, but I think this is OneDrive? When you open a file from File Explorer, Windows will download it automatically, but all Zotero knows is that the file doesn't exist on the computer.
Years ago, we did actually add a feature to the Mac version of Zotero that automatically triggers a download from iCloud Drive for an evicted file. I suspect implementing the same for OneDrive would be more difficult, but if someone wants to try to implement this in a reasonable way, we'd accept a patch.
(Needless to say, stored files in Zotero Storage do this automatically when Zotero is set to download files "as needed".)
I guess the easiest way would be downloading all locally.
Your explanations definitely help me understand this problem clearer.
Thank you both.
