Move attachment library from Zotero storage to local shared (OneDrive)
Firstly thanks for such a great product. Zotero truly is the GOAT reference manager.
I was paying for storage, but now I'm over 2GB and unfortunately the next option is a bit expensive for me (unfortunately it is a personal expense).
I'm now trying to only sync the database via Zotero sync, while keep the attachments on a cloud folder (OneDrive). I understand this should be possible via the advanced settings.
However, when I deselect sync attachments, and specify a OneDrive "Linked attachment base directory", new attachments are still stored in the "Data Directory Location".
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here - or perhaps I have some misunderstanding of this capability. Any advice would be very helpful! Thanks.

If the path to your linked files is the same on all your computers, you should *not* set a LABD (but it changes how PDF paths are stored to the database - so once you have set it one computer, you need to set it on all your computers ... even if it is the same path on each).
