How to batch convert Link to file attachments into copy of file attachment?
Is there a way to batch convert attachments on items that are "Link to file" into "Store Copy of file"?
I migrated from Mendeley, so all my existing items have attachments as "Link to file". I have 400+ items, and I would like Zotero to no longer have a "Link to file", but store a copy that is Zotero internally manages.

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.
If you want to help test this out, you should temporarily disable auto-sync and make a backup of your Zotero data directory (and, if you use the "Delete original files after storing" option, your PDF directory) before trying it, and then closely review the converted files before turning syncing back on.
