Moving stored attachments

igavri
Hi,

I moved stored attachments holder to another place on my computer. Due this reason links from Zotero Standalone Library to attachments doesn't work. How Can I establish new links to source folder?

I search on a forum, but it was unsuccesful. Besides, I tried to use ZotFile, but as far as I concern it can help to manage (relocate specifically) new attachments.

Can you help me out with my issue?

    Sorry for a typo in a first sentence, I moved to another "folder" but not "holder".

    Set the Linked Attachment Base Directory in the Advanced → Files and Folders pane of the Zotero preferences to the old location, and then set it to the new location.

    Thank you so much for the answer. I got it!
    But I have a brief question. How can I find out a link to old attachment directory in Zotero Standalone?
    A previous directory for attachments was located in Google Drive folder on the other computer. I just don't remember correct link address.

    right-click --> show file should work. Otherwise, Zutilo has the ability to show file paths.

    Thank you again for a help!

    A small tip: you can find an address to file in a web version of Zotero by clicking on item properties.
