Problem attaching Zotero link to file
I have a PDF file saved to my conputer, which I want to attach as a link to a citation in my library. However, when I right click on the citation, and click 'Add attachment', I am physically unable to click 'Attach link to file'.
I have tried to do this through Zotero log in on google chrome, where I clicked on the citation and clicked 'upload attachment', however it takes far too long and is unsuccesful in uploading the attachment.
How do I proceed from here??

adamsmithWhat do you mean by "physically unable"? It doesn't exist? It's greyed out? Something else?

priyankabarveYes it's greyed out

dstillmanedited September 27, 2019If this is in a group, it's because you can't currently use linked files in group libraries (because not everyone in the group would necessarily have access to the file without per-library linked-attachment-base-directory support).

priyankabarveThat would explain it. Thank you for your help!

alessandradiviziaI have the same issue and this isn't from a group. Any insight?

dstillmanedited February 17, 2021@alessandradivizia: Could you say more? You can always attach a linked file to a regular item in your personal library.
