Accessing Quicken without linking to banks and credit cards

I upgraded to Quicken rather than other products because I thought it offered a way for me to store data on my laptop, but access it online from another computer. Everything I try seems to start with me having to link to bank accounts and credit cards. Well, I don't want to download transactions or link to these accounts. Mostly, I just want my wife to be able to access Quicken from her computer and be able to see what I have on my laptop (but I also want to be able to access Quicken from my computer without having to login online). How can I give her online access with a minimum of exposure of our data?

Hi @sjkemp62,

On the question about "having to link to bank accounts and credit cards" - that is entirely optional, and since you don't want to download transactions from those accounts, you should be good to go.
Let me know if you have any followup questions.
