Issue after Litmaps & help with recovery (though the benefits of integration outweigh the cons IMO)

Apologies if I'm posting this in the wrong place. I recently added Litmaps to my workflow but have recently found that a few papers I annotated in the pre Litmaps era now suddenly give an error message:

The attached file could not be found at the following path:

/Users/xxxxxxx/Library/CloudStorage/GoogleDrive-xxxxxxxxxxxx@gmail.com/My Drive/1 Learning/Zoterodb/Citri and Malenka - 2008 - Synaptic Plasticity Multiple Forms, Functions, and Mechanisms.pdf

It may have been moved or deleted outside of Zotero, or a Linked Attachment Base Directory may be set incorrectly on one of your computers.

I can, however, see the annotations within my Zotero desktop under the name of the paper. I was wondering if you could please help me recover the file with the annotations or guide me as to how I could do this. Thanks in advance.
  • The message simply means that the named PDF is not at the listed location where Zotero thinks it should be (where it was when it was originally added to Zotero). If you look at that location in Google Drive, is that PDF file actually there ? If not, you would need to work out where that file is.

    Note that with linked PDF attachments on Google Drive you likely need to be using mirrored files, not streamed files.
