Revert from Zotmoov Links to Zotero Local Storage and Zotero Sync

fost219
Currently, I use Zotmoov to store attachments in my Dropbox. I would like to revert back to storing attacments locally and using Zotero sync (I have paid for a Storage upgrade which is sufficient for the size of my library with attachments). Is there a straightforward way to reverse the zotmoov process and bring the attachments into local storage? I am running Zotero 9.0.6 onUbuntu 26.04 LTS. Local storage space is no longer a problem. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you. I should have been more specific. I used Dropbox as my zotmoov folder location. I am leaving dropbox. I created a new mount point and installed Zotmoov plugin and directed it to the new path. The old path to the files is not available. Is there a way to batch re-connect the links with the files?

    Uninstall ZotMoov. In the Advanced tab of the settings, set your Linked Attachment Base Directory to the new location. Go to open one of the missing files, and Zotero should find the file at the new location and prompt you to relink all files. Once the files all are relinked properly, you can use Convert Linked Files to Stored Files.
