Upgrade StorageFinding storage subfolder name in Library items
I damaged my laptop when travelling, so it will be in the shop for an uncertain length of time while they decide if they can repair it or not.
I am using a very limited netbook as an emergency standby, but I can access my Zotero Library online if I need to pull out particular papers as I write. The PDF attachments themselves are stored in Dropbox via a symlink. This has worked well so far, and I am pleased I haven't lost any of the files or my library of references (thanks Zotero!). However, now I need to use Zotero online I find I cannot easily find the storage subfolder name that applies to each PDF. This means I have to search in Dropbox, which works OK, but occasionally leaves me with a lot of hits (lots of PDFs with 'Smith', for instance).
Is there a way of displaying the random subfolder name from the storage (or the whole path, I guess) in the My Library display settings? When I look at the attachment details it gives me the file name, but it would so useful if it also gave the /storage/NEMKP8AF path detail in one of the columns. I assume this metadata exists in the database for your personal library? Can it pulled down easily to show against each item or attachment in My Library display?

https://www.zotero.org/iainc/items/itemKey/ABCD2345
ABCD2345 will correspond to the folder name.
If you're within a collection there'll also be a collectionKey/[KEY] before that, but you can ignore that.
Thank you, I knew it would be something obvious I was missing! For the benefit of anyone else reading this, Adam is correct that you need to refer to the specific 'Attachment Details' URL for the correct item key to find your attached file, thus:
.../collectionKey/ABCD1234/itemKey/WATUWANT
