I don't think this will ever happen. It would mean total rewrite of Quicken for that operating system.Desire a version of Quicken that would run on a ChromeBook or ChromeBox? It doesn't need to download financial info from a bank or other financial institution. I'm not interested in a version that runs on a phone. An alternative is [removed]-Web but that is pricey and somewhat complex for someone who just wants to manage their bank accounts.
To get what you want and if my understanding the Chrome OS programs is correct, Quicken would have to write a version of Quicken from the ground up that is cloud based.Desire a version of Quicken that would run on a ChromeBook or ChromeBox?

Personally I think Joe J has a very good point, provided you can trust [removed] to do the downloading correctly.I am curious why you need to reconcile. I have been trying [removed] over the last few weeks after being a long time Quicken user. I too was reluctant to switch due to the reconciliation issue. But having worked with it a bit, there really is no need to reconcile. You can put in checks if you wish that will be matched and cleared from the "pending" section when they clear. Otherwise for me, the only point to reconciling was to catch something that was not supposed to be there (i.e. errors or fraud), but a quick review of the transactions listed in [removed] takes care of that concern. Of course, if you have a large volume of transactions I can see your point, but if that is the case you really should be on [removed] or another system.
Thanks QPW. I would go further to ask can you even "trust" Quicken not drop transactions? If you read the posts here, that is not always a certainty. In my mind it would easy enough, if you had doubts, to do a data spinoff of a bank/credit account for a given statement date range and agree the totals of the data to the statement. As I said, I am new to trying [removed]. I probably would sum up the difference best as seeing Quicken as a "light" accounting system where [removed] is a transaction tracking system (with current account balances and asset valuation).I am curious why you need to reconcile.

My statement about making sure Quicken reflects what the financial institution says encompasses quite a big area.I am curious why you need to reconcile.

Cloud based applications are in rapid growth while local applications are in decline. Quicken is pursuing a "going out of business" strategy especially developing for the Mac with its infinitesimal market share.Desire a version of Quicken that would run on a ChromeBook or ChromeBox?

Bill in a way I agree with you for the "long term". But I believe the "long term" is quite a few years off. And in fact by the time we get there, who knows what will be the norm?Desire a version of Quicken that would run on a ChromeBook or ChromeBox?

You can run Microsoft apps including Quicken on your chromebook: check out this link https://www.zdnet.com/article/how-to-run-windows-apps-on-your-chromebook/Desire a version of Quicken that would run on a ChromeBook or ChromeBox?

Yeah right. I'm going to give my bank account numbers and passwords to [removed]. Why not just publish them on Facebook or Twitter?I am curious why you need to reconcile.

Don't count on that happening. That would mean that Quicken would be enabling their users to run their "secure financial management software" on a un-secure OS. They dropped support for WinXP and Vista and will do so for Win7 when Microsoft stops support.BAZ said:… So it is critical that Quicken at least keep supporting Windows 7.
To correct a misconception, the Android (or iOS) app is not a version/edition of Quicken, it is a companion app to the Desktop Version (Win or Mac). Backups are to be made of the Desktop data file, not of what you see in the mobile app.prbell123 said:… Sure, I could run the Android version of Quicken on my Chromebook, but it's capabilites are quite limited at this point. It also has no local backup capability. …
One the thing that has always bothered me about the "online apps" is how "closed" the systems are. None of them seem to be interested in exporting your data. If you are lucky you might get a limited CSV export, but that is about it. I guess it makes sense from their perspective, why would they want to spend time to make it easy for you to go to their competitor?prbell123 said:I don't really care if it is a local app or a web app, but the key features that seem inportant are: 1) ability to perform a local backup of my data and save it wherever I want and, 2) ability to import my existing Quicken data.
