Hi there, @CivicMusicMKE.
I appreciate your input from every angle. And I understand the inconvenience of attachments not migrating from QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) to QuickBooks Online (QBO).
At this time, moving attachments when moving from QBDT to QBO is still unavailable. And you may need to insert your attachments manually to your transactions in QBO. Or you may consider looking for a third-party app to help you attach those files. You can go to the Apps.intuit.com to see the list of the apps that work in the system.
As for getting the attachments from your QBDT account, you can make a manual backup of the “Attach” folder which can be found in the same location as your QuickBooks company file. For more details about the process, see this article: QuickBooks Document Center: FAQs and common issues.
