Restoring Collections from an External Drive
Hello,
Long story short, I copied my Zotero folder to an external drive and then my laptop was wiped. Now that I have reinstalled Zotero, I cannot figure out how import my collections from this folder into Zotero. None of the collections or entries are appearing in Zotero, but I can view the saved PDFs on the flash drive. I tried copying the folder named "storage" from the Zotero folder on the flash drive into the new Zotero folder on my computer but that didn't work.
I hadn't realized that it wasn't syncing online, and as my laptop has been wiped, the only copy I have of these entries is on the flash drive.
Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Thanks!
