Syncing error - after moving files from one folder to another

Hi Zotero - working on organizing a bunch of research files, and the app sync stopped working. In particular, I moved files from one collection to a second collection, and then removed files from the first collection. Afterward, Zotero wouldn't sync. Here's my error report: 400485965
Any help is so appreciated!

  • You tried restarting your computer as indicated?
  • @anniebpowers: If you're still seeing this after restarting your computer, can you provide a Debug ID (different from a Report ID) for a sync that triggers this?
  • Hi! Thanks for your help. Restart didn't work but now the error message is slightly different, it's below. New report ID: 1287928810

    Trying a Debug ID right now, will send through when it's done trying to sync!

  • Maybe it's not different actually! But here is the debug report number: D2022287750

    THANK YOU a million!
  • OK, try again now.

    (You have a large video file that's taking a long time to upload, and that was causing an error after some recent changes.)
  • Thank you!!! Will try it momentarily. By chance can you point me to the name of the video so I can find it remove it?
  • You can paste AR3DWXGD into the Zotero search bar in All Fields & Tags mode to see the attachment in question. If you don't want it, you can delete it and empty the trash.
  • It worked!!! Kept getting the error until I deleted the video though. Thanks very much for your help
