Upgrade StorageWebDAV Sync not working
I set up Zotero on a new computer and successfully connected it to my WebDAV server. All library items and attachments show up correctly. The attachments are stored files (not linked), and the corresponding .zip files are present in the zotero/storage structure on the WebDAV server.
Problem: When I double-click an attachment, Zotero shows an error saying the file can't be found at a local path — but it does not attempt to download the file from WebDAV. Resetting the file sync history and enabling “download files at sync time” didn’t help.
It seems Zotero wrongly assumes the file is already stored locally, even though the storage/XYZ folder is missing or empty.
Is there a way to force Zotero to re-download stored attachments from WebDAV?
Thanks for any advice!
