Thanks for reaching out to us, @Roxy7778.
Currently, creating a portable company file is unavailable in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) Mac. However, I can show you how to back up your company file so you'll be able to restore it seamlessly if you ever run into a problem with your data.
We recommend backing up your company file daily, monthly, and yearly. Before that, please note the following:
- Make a backup of your company file at the end of each session.
- Keep a backup copy on another device, such as Dropbox, iCloud Drive, or a USB key.
- Keep a copy of your backups somewhere other than your workspace. You can save it to iCloud Drive, Dropbox, or Google Drive.
Please follow these steps on how to manually backup your company file:
- Go to the File menu and select Back Up.
- Choose a folder to store your backup.
- Click Start Backup.
For further information, please see this article: Back up your QuickBooks Desktop for Mac company file.
Moreover, we update QBDT for Mac regularly to fix issues and provide better experiences. To see the new and improved features, I'd recommend visiting this link: Release notes for QuickBooks Mac Plus 2023.
