Upgrade StorageZotero does not open under Mac OS Montery
When I open Zotero, I get the following error message:
[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80520006 (NS_ERROR_FILE_TARGET_DOES_NOT_EXIST) [nsIFile.create]" nsresult: "0x80520006 (NS_ERROR_FILE_TARGET_DOES_NOT_EXIST)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/ipc.js :: Zotero.IPC</this.init :: line 36" data: no]
Zotero.IPC</this.init@chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/ipc.js:36:9
this.init<@chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/zotero.js:372:7
From previous event:
ZoteroService@file:///Applications/Zotero.app/Contents/Resources/components/zotero-service.js:346:7
@chrome://zotero/content/include.js:4:14
I can either quit the application or check for updates.
I'm running Zotero 6.0.11 on a MBP M1 (2021) with OSX 12.4. I've tried to delete and re-install but without success. I've also deleted the browser plugins without a change.
Any idea?
Many thanks and greetings from Berlin

Many thanks for your quick reply. I have indeed moved the Zotero data directory to my local Nextcloud folder to have an automated backup. Due to a problem I was facing with the cloud last week, I had to switch folders. So, what I understand is, that I have "crashed" the path to the Zotero data directory!?! Is there any way I can change the path manually? I would also be happy to simply reset Zotero and start from scratch.

You should move it back to your local disk. If you want to have a backup, use backup software — don't store an active database in a cloud storage folder.
Thank you for your support. I have moved the folder back and everything is working again... :)
Have a great day!
