Is there an easy way to sync my desktop computer and my laptop. I am not very tech savvy.

Thank you.

    The simplest and least tech savvy way would be to just copy the .QDF file back and forth between the computers when Quicken is NOT running on either one.

    If you plan on making changes in Quicken on either computer, make sure it has the latest copy of the .QDF file.

    A co-worker and I shared a file years ago and used a thumbdrive to move the file, the thumbdrive indicated who "had the master copy", you could do something similar between your two computers. NOTE: Don't take this to mean that you keep the data file on the thumbdrive, that would not be a good idea.
