You MUST be in sync between the two computers.

When you're done, backup the data file back to the cloud based drive and repeat on the other computer with moving the data back to the hard drive.Ī few caveats with this process. Move the data file from the cloud based drive on to the local hard drive. Make sure you have the latest version of Quicken installed on both computers. No additional installation of Quicken is needed outside of the host computer as the remote software allows you to log into the host and basically view and use whats on that PC or Mac as if you were sitting in front of that computer.Ģ Create a backup of your data file to a cloud based drive, such as Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive or iCloud Drive. The two recognized methods of using Quicken is as follows:ġ Use Remote Access software such as the free TeamViewer or Microsoft Remote Desktop. If you have your data file on a shared drive or a cloud based drive, those read/writes/open/close Quicken processes will eventually get overlapped and mucked up as the speed rate can't keep up like on your local hard drive. Because of that, Quicken is constantly reading and writing data to your. It saves as you go along and will write or change or access transactions or when you add security prices. Quicken doesn't have a SAVE feature when you exit the application. Listen to all the other here.but having your active Quicken data file reside on a shared networked drive or a cloud based drive WILL result in data corruption eventually.

Second, your Quicken data file is supposed to be located on your computer's local hard drive. So.you couldn't access on two computers at the same time.
