  The Quicken Cloud Account (QCA) is nothing like DropBox and should not be confused with any backup/storage system.
  

  The QCA is used for two basic reason:

  1. To hold information about your Quicken Id and subscription
  2. To hold the data from financial accounts that you decide to sync to it so that they can then be views/manipulated via QMobile and/or Q-Web.  Both of which can be researched on Quicken.com.

  #1 is mandatory, you have no control over it.  #2 is by user choice.
