After importing the "storage" folder from one computer into another, the original document directory does not display.

You have to transfer the entire data directory, not just the 'storage' folder.

I tried doing this, but I'm not sure if you mean to close Zotero when copying on the old computer, or if I need to transfer the entire Zotero folder in the parent of the storage.
