Upgrade Storagemoved linked attachment base directory
Hi,
I setup zotero and zotfile with dropbox a 2 years ago so that pdfs were stored in a dropbox folder and were accessible from multiple computers using the linked attachment base directory
but I recently ran out of space in my dropbox folder and so moved all the stored pdfs to Google Drive and changed the base link directory accordingly.
Now although newly added pdf links are working fine on multiple computers all the old ones created previously come up with the error "The attached file could not be found..."
Is there a simple way to resolve this (without manually locating each individual pdf)?
thanks!

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
The Zutilo add-on has a function to bulk-change links, so you definitely won't have to do this one-by-one, but I'd suggest figuring out why this isn't working the way it's supposed to first.
When I click locate it takes me to "C:\Users"
I use google chrome with the zotero add-on - is there an add on I can use instead of Zutilo which seems to be for firefox only?
thanks
Before you change filepaths with Zutilo, could you use it to copy the path to one of the files that don't open anymore and paste it here?
