Upgrade StorageUnable to open Zotero database
The message ‘Unable to open Zotero database’ appears.
Please ensure that you have read and write permissions for all files in the Zotero data directory and that your security software is not blocking Zotero from accessing this directory.
Even after unchecking the ‘Read-only’ attribute, it still cannot be opened. After trying to move the file location, the path cannot be found. It can only be run as an administrator, but this prevents it from being used in Word. How can this be resolved?

dstillmanedited 26 days agoThis is a permissions problem on your computer that you'll need to fix — it's not something we can help with. The Zotero data directory needs to be owned and readable/writable by your OS user account. You'd generally get this error if you moved data from another computer or OS account and the permissions on the folder are set incorrectly.
