Missing part of library on new computer

[Split from Missing files in Zotero library]

Hi, after moving to another research center and leaving a laptop behind, I installed zotero in another computer and just found out that 40% of my library is missing (even whole folders). I am 100% sure automatic sync was enabled in the previous computer. Also most of the papers were added using the google chrome extension (so I assume that is on sync with my account).

You can see what's available in the web library on this site and sort by Date Added descending. If you don't see what you're looking for there, it was never synced from the computer where you added it, either because you turned off syncing or you were getting an error that you didn't resolve.

The Chrome extension saves to the desktop app by default, so syncing has to be working normally for that data to be uploaded.

It looks like you've been syncing regularly, though, so I'm not seeing any clear problems.
