Sync help
I was having trouble opening Zotero, so I reinstalled it, moved it around to different drives on my computer, and somehow got it to work again without knowing exactly how. But I didn't back up my library (I know), and my reinstalled Zotero Standalone is now empty.
This is on my work computer, with a dedicated library and Zotero account. Online, I see only a fairly old library missing many items. But, I shared access to this work library with my personal account, and on my home computer with Standalone set up for my personal account everything is still in tact.
How do I set up syncing so that what I can still see in the shared library from my personal account is available when I access the library from my work computer with Standalone set up for my work account?

I'd make sure to back-up your data directory on your home computer (https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data#backing_up_your_zotero_library ), but that's just an added safety measure. Sync should handle all of this elegantly&without any problems or risk of data loss.
