Upgrade Storagere-syncing the storage folder
Clearing up my HD, I inadvertently deleted the zotero storage folder. The database was intact however.
I had hoped that Zotero would realise all the attachments were missing in local storage, and download them when I sync'd, but it seems not, and I didn't find a way to force syncing attachments or the like.
My solution was to delete (after backing up) my Zotero folder and sync from afresh - attachments are now syncing (: Since the Zotero database isn't too large, the extra overhead of downloading it again isn't too much, and perhaps it'll be in a better state than the old, stale one too :)
Posting this here in case someone else comes looking with the same issue.

adamsmithThe "correct" (or at least faster and less risky) way to do this is to use "Reset File Sync History" in the Preferences under Sync/Reset
