When trying to open 1 of my 3 files I receive error message...
QUICKEN CANNOT OPEN THE DATA FILE BECAUSE IT IS IN USE BY ANOTHER APPLICATION, SUCH AS A CLOUD STORAGE BACK-UP. PLEASE CLOSE THAT APPLICATION OR TURN OFF CLOUD STORAGE SYNCE AND TRY AGAIN. I have turned off my one drive on several occasions, as well as doing multiple restarts. Like I said, I can only open two of the three files... Any ideas on the fix? - thank you

    FWIW, Quicken doesn't support accessing your data file from a cloud synced folder. Backups to the cloud are fine.
