Hello there, @IH8QuikB.

 

Thanks for joining this conversation. Allow me to chime in for a moment and share some additional information about opening QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) company file from OneDrive.

 

Currently, QBDT doesn't the option open a backup file directly from OneDrive. You can save it on your desktop first before restoring it to QuickBooks instead.

 

To restore a backup company file:

 

1. Go to File menu at the upper left and pick Open or Restore Company on the drop-down.
2. Click Restore a backup copy, then Next.
3. Select Local Backup and Next again.
4. From the Look In drop-down, choose the location, then select the backup file from the folder.
5. Click Open and Next.
6. From the Save in drop-down, pick a location where you want to save it.
7. In the File name field, type a new file name and Save.

I can see how this feature would be helpful for you and your business, and I'm going to submit feedback directly to our Product Development Team for consideration in future updates. I also encourage you to submit feedback as well. They're constantly looking for great ideas from users, like yourself, when deciding how to enhance QuickBooks.

 

Here's how:

 

1. At the top menu bar, go to Help and pick Send Feedback Online.
2. Enter your request/product suggestion, then click Next.
3. Choose Skip and send a message, then select Feedback as the Category.

 

That's it! Please let me know in the comment section should you have any follow-up questions or concerns. I'll be here to answer them. Take care and have a good one.
