Can I stop all syncing with Quicken Cloud and still do One Step Updates to my accounts?

leomoore

For the second time in a month, my data has been corrupted following Quicken Cloud Sync. I long ago stopped using Quicken Mobile for the same reason. I get no error messages, but when I look at reconciling downloaded transactions, I find transactions awaiting reconciliation and some are as old as two years. On top of that, some previously reconciled paychecks lose all detail such as tax and benefits and the split deposits going to other accounts. In the other accounts, I can see the deposit listed at least twice.

I've recovered each time by restoring from a back up and rebuilding any missing transactions.

If there is no way to separate syncing with the Quicken Cloud and retaining the ability to download transactions, I am willing to stop using that function and just return to old-fashioned manual reconciliation. At that point, I'll no longer have a need for future upgrades to Quicken or continuing my monthly subscription.

Make sure that you have turned off QMobile in your current file at Edit->Preferences->Mobile&Web , then follow Sherlock's instructions on creating the second account and deleting the QCA.

I restored from my last backup that was in balance before the last sync. I then turned off all syncing. I was able to download transactions without going out-of-balance although I had to delete several transactions from 2018 in three different accounts, but they appeared to be duplicates of existing reconciled transactions.

Thank-you for the assistance.
