Upgrade Storagelinked attachment paths: will they still sync if i uncheck "File Sync > Sync attachment files"?
see title. apologies again if this is a duplicate; but i've been looking for a bit, and i couldn't find an answer.

Basically all my attachments will be linked files, via zotfile. But it seems zotfile doesn't automatically change attachments for items that were:
-generated by zotero via drag/drop'd attachments
-generated by browser connectors
which is basically how all my items/attachments are added. So I guess this means that whenever I initially add an item/attachment, it will always be synced to zotero (if "sync attachment files" is checked). But then it's immediately deleted since I always move/rename the attachments via zotfile afterwards. Seems like a waste?

ahnjalso i realized i forgot to clarify: I want to make sure that linked attachment paths are synced. So i'm just wondering if "File Sync > Sync attachment files" needs to be checked for this to happen.

adamsmithNo,.it doesn't need to be checked. Links always sync
