@tim820, @dstillman, I should have spent more time investigating documentation. Thank you for the explanations! Now I realize that I can move files from Zotero folders to wherever I want with Zotfile.

@pivik people who need easier access to their PDFs outside Zotero often look at linked attachments. Often with management aided via Zotfile. Linked files also have limitations though (see link below).

I maintain rather large Group Libraries whose attachments need to be stored locally from what I have experienced. I have used ZotFile to move most of my own attachments to pCloud. This has worked well

Have you already tried doing the following? Tools->Zotfile Preferences -> General Settings-> Use subfolder defined by -> %c. This would mimick the collection path.

Thank you for your help! Yes, I have ZotFile installed. New item attachment is uploaded successfully after I remove the plugin.

Do you have ZotFile installed? It can automatically move and link files (and linked files don't sync).

What have I done wrong? Is it because my personal Mac is in for service? Do I need to use Zotfile?
