Upgrade StorageFiles not found
Hello everyone,
I recently uninstalled and re-installed Zotero (becasue of lack of storage on disc). Now all my files go unlinked. I tried to setup the setting "linked attachment base directory" to where my papers are and "data directory location" to where Zotero is currently installed. Sync is on but all files stay unlinked. Given the amount of Zotero, is there a way to quickly have all files re-linked instead of doing it one by one?
PS. The downloaded papers are stored in OneDrive because I have to work across devices. Not sure if this would ever complicate the case.
Many thanks in advance!

But firstly, can we assume ...
- you retained your Zotero database when you re-installed Zotero - that is, can you still see the parent *items* in Zotero, just not their attached PDFs ?
- your data directory is *not* on Onedrive ? https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/data_directory_in_cloud_storage_folder
- you are talking about "linked" not "stored" PDFs ... which you could you open in Zotero from Onedrive at one point ?
When "linked" PDFs can't be found by Zotero, the solution usually involves looking at the Zotero error message when trying to open a PDF - where Zotero *thinks* the PDF should be - versus where that PDF actually *is*. Can you give an example of an error message, and that file's actual location ?
