Upgrade StorageSync issue
Hello!
Today when I logged into my computer (main computer I use Zotero on), I received a warning:
You are about to sync to an empty Zotero database. This could happen if you accidentally deleted the zotero.sqlite file in your Zotero data directory or the location of your data directory changed.
If you continue, data in the ‘srp152’ account will be downloaded to this computer. Your online library won’t be affected.
If your Zotero data exists elsewhere on this computer, you should move it to the current data directory or change the data directory location to point to your existing data.
Data Directory: /Users/srp15/Zotero
I can see that Zotero is completely empty now. I have not moved my data directory or done anything else, so not sure why this is happening. If I just click 'sync', I am not at risk of losing any data, right? Just hoping for some reassurance. :)
Thanks!

You should also check on the Zotero website web library and make sure that the account you have logged in with has your data, before you sync. Otherwise, if your local zotero account has no items, there's nothing you can lose by having your synced library downloaded.
