ZotFile (5.0.8, extension)

This discussion was created from comments split from: orphan attachments.

By the way, I am using the extension ZotFile to manage the names of those papers but I do not think it causes the problem.

In ZotFile preferences, I selected the General Settings tab. Under Location of Files, I chose Custom Location and set that to the same Zotero-PDFs path above. I ensured that "Use subfolder defined by"

On laptop A, I have a working Zotero installation where the attachments were renamed using ZotFile to point at an iCloud folder. I can open these attachments fine.
