Will I be still able to import transactions from a qif or qfx file into Quicken 2007 for Mac.

I received an email from Quicken that states the following:

due to an unrelated security and reliability update, the ability to download transactions will no longer work in Quicken 2007, regardless of your macOS version. I am running Quicken 2007 for Mac, using Sierra.

Will I still be able to download transactions to a qif or qfx file from my credit cards internet site, and then import those transactions into my Quicken accounts? (i.e. not using direct download)

"Will I still be able to download transactions to a qif or qfx"

Sorry, but no, as that's still a download function.

Because Q "calls home" with each import (or download) to verify that the Q product is still eligible for downloads AND that the file was produced by a "Participating Financial Institution"

AND, you downloaded the product to get it on to "your own computer".

One correction, though Quicken does call home when loading QFX data to verify that the software and the FI/Bank are valid, Quicken does NOT call home for QIF imports. So that should theoretically still work.

Thank you but how is "importing from a file" from the downloads folder on MY OWN COMPUTER a download function?
