Quicken asking for login but won't allow email to be entered. Other questions as well.

So, a couple of questions. Background. I have quicken installed on a desktop and laptop. I upload the most up to date file from one computer to dropbox then download it to the other PC. This has worked just fine until this last week. The desktop started prompting me for my login, but it won't allow me to enter the email address. Also, it is creating a new database file with different account information, perhaps from previous syncs? Anyway, when I try to open the real data file it wants to convert it. Both computers have the same version of Quicken. They both use OneDrive as well, but our storage is full. Could this be the issue?

Problem solved! I downloaded a backup from my laptop and had it do a restore and now all is good.

Hello @tjrob2000,

Thank you for reaching out to Quicken Community. I apologize you are having this issue. For this instance, I would recommend moving your active data file(s) out of your online cloud service (Onedrive, Dropbox, etc.) and place them onto your desktop. Once this is done, restore the backup(s) from within Quicken and run a validation.

To do this select File >Validate and Repair File.

What do you mean... "our storage is full" ?

ps562k, by storage is full I mean our OneDrive (microsoft cloud storage) was full. We'd have to pay to get more. Regarding the copying the file to the hard drive directly, I did that and it didn't work until I used a backup file.
