All the files are on we zotero.org.
So, you are now syncing down your library in a freshly-installed empty Zotero 5? If so, what is probably happening is that you have many PDF files that just haven't finished downloading. Once these finish downloading, the error message will stop showing up. Alternatively, you can change Zotero's sync settings to Download Attachment Files "As Needed", which will only download an attachment when you try to open it. With that option enabled, when you try to open an attachment, it will trigger a download immediately and open.
I know all your response.
The sync finished and I cannot open my attachment of all my library files. The setting is at sync time so I should download all my files from the web to my desktop? What is the problem? I see all my files on the web but they cannot be downloaded.
(This shouldn't be necessary normally, of course.)
Could anyone help me? I need attachments of my library urgently.
Thank you
Please follow Dan's instructions just above:
I already did Dan's instructions and wrote you that the debug ID is D386874243.
Yes, when I switch it " as needed" I can download but when switch "at sync time" the problem again occurred.
So how can I download my all 357 files?
Thank you
I have not a different computer.
Secondly, I have more than 900 files in My Library. It is horrible click all of them one by one. I tried but I cannot do that because after clicking all files open. That's horrible.
I uploaded and file then I switched it to at sync time. Then it started to download.
Now the problem is solved but the bug should be fixed for all other users.
Thank you

Thanks! Should I try the 5.0.11beta version?
Thank you,
When 5.0.11 will be released?
Thank you
Thank you very much @dstillman
I see the update but it is better to show the percentage. Now we can just see the remaining files but what is the percentage of the remaining files?
For example, you can show 21/25 remaining or 21(25%) remaining
Thank you
I don't mean the size @dstillman. I mean the number of the files synced and remaining and that makes me the percentage. Note that Google Drive and One Drive also use my approach.
Best,
