Serious issues with syncing

CQQ

:s Avoid syncing to the cloud if at all possible. Since I started syncing several months ago, the result has been corrupted transactions over and over. I even involved Quicken support. They advised me to copy and repair the file, which I did. I also reset the cloud account. At first, it appeared the problem was resolved. However, the problem has persisted. I have tried repairing the file several times, to no avail. What is particularly problematic is that with each iteration different types of transactions have been corrupted, to the point I have decided I WILL NOT use the syncing feature again.

For me, syncing was appealing because I'm using two different computers, and having up-to-date transaction data on both was critical. However, if syncing results in corrupted transaction data, what's the use of syncing?

As a solution, I decided to copy the data file to a cloud storage (each time I use Quicken) and then copy the file manually to the other computer. This way, I don't involve the syncing feature at all.

BTW, Quicken needs to do a much better job recovering data from data files. For example, there was not an easy way to export certain transactions to a comma-delimited text file. As a result, I had to manually recreate the transactions using an older clean version of the data file.

The synch functionality is not intended to enable us to synchronize Quicken files across computers and may not be used for that purpose.  If you haven't already, you may want to review: https://www.quicken.com/support/what-quicken-cloud
