Upgrade Storageautomatic download of missing pdf - possibly preserving former highlights and notes
My hard disk died and data are gone. I have installed again zotero, and syncing the data.
It is capable to retrieve the collections that were on my local computer, but not the pdfs.
It is capable to retrieve the collections that were shared from a group, including the pdf.
How can I do to retrieve the pdfs of the local collections, and possibly retain the highlights that I have made?
I hope it is possible because the structure is there, so maybe the database is still integrate, but only the local storage is obviously gone.

The error I got when trying opening the file:
"""
File Error:
The attached file could not be found at the following path:
/Users/[username]/Zotero/storage/2UDDGWD6/Hagiwara et al. - 2022 - Modeling Animal Vocalizations through Synthesizers.pdf
It may have been moved or deleted outside of Zotero, or, if the file was added on another computer, it may not yet have been synced to or from zotero.org.
"""
But I obviously cannot recover the path, and note that the [username] in the new harddisk is also different.
(Note: The group was created by a former colleague at the university, but I am using my private account with free quota, and apparently syncing pdfs from the group make "space" at the expenses of my local collections. My quota is now full, but without my local collections pdfs...)
Thank you very very much for helping on this!
