Manage attachments > Convert linked files to stored files is greyed out
Hello,
I have just updated my Zotero storage plan, because I thought that this would overcome the issue of syncing attachments.
I have about 50 - 100 papers with "linked" pdfs that I would like to convert into "stored files" so that I can sync them with my Tablet (Zootero). Unfortunately in the desktop version the "Manage attachments > Convert linked files to stored files" option is greyed out.
Any ideas on how to solve this issue?
Thanks a lot!

If you can't get it to work, can you take a screenshot, upload it somewhere (e.g., Dropbox or Google Drive), and provide a link here, or email it to support@zotero.org with a link to this thread? (We'll respond here.)
(Just to respond to the above, the presence of the linked file on disk should make no difference in whether the menu option is enabled. It's enabled for all linked-file attachments and parent items of linked-file attachments. If the file doesn't exist the conversion won't work, though.)
