Quicken's data file was NOT meant to be used on a common cloud drive or an external drive. If you can do it every 2 or 3 days, that will save you a lot of problems in case things go south. My best advise for you is to stick with using Quicken only on one computer, if you need to move the data back and forth, stick it to a USB drive and transfer it to the other computer, get the work done and so on.Īnd the advise I always give to everybody: DO MANUAL BACKUPS. Personally, I used the Quicken Cloud to do this, but I eventually figured out that it only works if you do not have any account connected to any financial institution.Īs well, if you continue using your file on a cloud, it will eventually get corrupted (Quicken files are not very stable) and nobody (not even Quicken) will be able to recover your data. We eventually stopped indicating customers that this was a fix because of the problems it carries.
Last year, I was still a supervisor at Quicken support and you wouldn't believe the amount of requests we receive for this feature. I wouldn't recommend you doing this, trust me.
