Upgrade StorageError while opening Zotero on a new compter
I have recently moved to a new computer, on which my zotero database is being downloaded (it's about 30 Go, so it takes time; it's through Data File Stream that sync with my google cloud).
While nevertheless trying to open zotero, I have the following error:
Une erreur s'est produite lors du démarrage de Zotero.
Error: Error(s) encountered during statement execution: database disk image is malformed [QUERY: SELECT L.libraryID, L.type AS _libraryType, L.editable AS _libraryEditable, L.filesEditable AS _libraryFilesEditable, L.version AS _libraryVersion, L.storageVersion AS _libraryStorageVersion, L.lastSync AS _libraryLastSync, L.archived AS _libraryArchived, (SELECT COUNT(*)>0 FROM collections C WHERE C.libraryID=L.libraryID) AS hasCollections, (SELECT COUNT(*)>0 FROM savedSearches S WHERE S.libraryID=L.libraryID) AS hasSearches FROM libraries L WHERE type NOT IN (?,?)] [PARAMS: feed, group] [ERROR: database disk image is malformed]
Zotero.DBConnection.prototype.queryAsync<@chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/db.js:670:13
From previous event:
ZoteroService@file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/Zotero/components/zotero-service.js:352:7
@chrome://zotero/content/include.js:4:14
SHould I wait for the downloading is finished (days ahead...) or is it any else?
Thank you
Eric

To sync your database across computers, use Zotero sync (https://zotero.org/support/sync). You can sync your attachment files either using Zotero’s sync system. You can use Google Drive to sync attachment files with the Zotfile plugin. See https://Zotero.org/support/sync#alternative_syncing_solutions
Because it is so big, I have stop uploading the PDF and other files to a zotero storage for years. If I install the sync process you recommend on the old computer to export the base, how long do you think it will take?
