Zotero cannot find file even though computer search finds it in Storage
Hi everyone,
So apparently people have had this similar issue, but I can't quite find anything exactly like my problem, so here goes.
I recently had to switch laptops - both Macs - and am now on a M1 chipped, Big Sur running, lean, mean, normally awesome machine. I had downloaded Zotero, and from what I could tell, my gajillion of files were all just fine.
Well, today I tried searching for a file I was sure I added using the program itself and I was coming up empty. Like, no mention whatsoever of that author, title, filename - nada.
I used my Mac's search function, and Finder spit out pretty much right away the location, the full path being like this: /Users/[me]/Zotero/storage/CMBIXB7B/[filename].pdf
But when I look for the file, even by filename in Zotero, crickets.
What is going on??? And how do I fix it? Please help. I need to turn in my dissertation soon, and I really don't want to have to insert things by hand. I have over 2000 footnotes - if some of them are not syncing properly, it'll be murder to sift through everything.
Thanks in advance.

So still receiving this message:
The attached file could not be found at the following path:/Users/[me]/Zotero/storage/SRF58W7U/[filename].pdf
Help!
I tempt to think that my one drive is playing up, but I'm not sure how to fix this.
