Group library not fully syncing to Zotero Desktop – only my own entries appear

Dear Zotero Team,

I have joined a private Zotero group library with my research team. In the Zotero Web Library, I can see, edit, and add all papers. However, in Zotero Desktop, the group library only shows the entries that I personally added. The other references from the group do not appear. I am wondering whether this is a settings issue or a problem with the desktop synchronization process.

I initially thought the problem might be caused by the size of the library, but I removed other libraries, updated Zotero (version 9.06), and restarted the synchronization. The problem remains. Zotero Desktop still shows a message asking me to update to the latest version and displays only “1 entry in this view” in the group library, which is the one item I added myself.

The main issue is that I cannot insert citations in my documents because the group references are not synchronized to my Zotero Desktop library.

The group permissions seem correct: I have permission to view and edit the library.

Does anyone know what could cause this? Is this a synchronization problem, a version issue, or something related to the group library settings?

Thank you very much for your help!

    Can you provide a Debug ID for a sync attempt that shows this?
