    Hi, I am facing this today (5.0.96.2)
    Using Zotfile to attach and link file to OneDrive.
    Almost all files are normal, but some file cannot open after linked.
    What I did:
    1/ Download pdf
    2/ In Zotero, attach new file
    3/ Zotfile takes it and shows that it has already been linked
    4/ Click Show file => Zotero data folder opens, but the file is not there
    So confused!

    I have submitted Debug ID: D321125244

    (Please start new threads for new issues — the thread you posted to was years old and about a different issue that is long since fixed. I've moved this to a new thread.)

    We can't help with ZotFile issues, but this sounds like some kind of misunderstanding. Show File won't work if the file is missing — it will just show an error that the file doesn't exist. Your debug output shows the PDF file existing.

    Hi, it is strange that after a full system updating and restart, the issue has gone.
    Click Show file then the folder is opened to the exact file chosen.

    Thank you very much for your time.

    My system: Manjaro KDE (kernel 5.9.16-1; Plasma 5.21.4)
