I tries to move my quicken folder from Dropbox to Onedrive but got and error stating that quicken date.web can only be opened in Dropbox. How can I move all of my quicken files from Dropbox to Onedrive?

    Hello @Joby Soisson,

    Thanks for reaching out! Please be aware that we strongly recommend against storing Quicken data files on cloud-synced drives like Dropbox or OneDrive. Doing so can increase the risk of file corruption or data loss over time, because these services continuously sync files in ways that Quicken isn’t designed to handle.

    The safest approach is to keep your Quicken data file on a local drive (like your Documents folder or another location on your PC). You can still create backups manually or use Quicken’s built-in backup feature, which you could then store in OneDrive if you want a cloud copy for safety, but the live data file should remain local.

    Thank you!
