moving storage folder by zotfile
I save all pdf attachments in a separate folder using zotfile. I wonder if I move this folder to a different location, how do I re-link them to zotero?
I think this is a useful feature, but I google a lot with no answers. Any response will be appreciated.

I probably go with the first method you mentioned.
I also find another possible way to do this. Just list here for reference. Use zotfile to transfer files back to zotero first, then re-link them. As stated here https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/34463/convert-linked-file-attachments-to-stored-attachments/#Item_0
(Unless one sets Zotfile to "Attach stored copy of file(s)", which I assume just uses the Zotero internal database)
If one uses Zotfile, it seems like the batch renaming is the only way to go... unless there is another method that would simply point Zotfile to the new directory...
Whether the files were originally added with ZotFile or manually makes no difference. They're still just linked files in Zotero. Normally you would set the Linked Attachment Base Directory to the same directory where you've configured ZotFile to save your files so that all your linked files use relative paths.
