Thanks for hopping into this thread, brenda_lela. I'd be glad to answer all of your queries related to attachments in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
For your first concern, the attachments stay in the cloud storage within QBO as long as you have an active account. Otherwise, you'll have one-year read-only access to your data if you decide to cancel your account.
Secondly, there isn't a storage limit on attachments and other selected data since QBO is a cloud base. Thus, it's unlimited storage for this feature.
Regarding your concern about the redundancy of your data, this option isn't available. What you can do is allow QBO to automatically back up your data online if you're using the QBO Advanced version. Here's how:
- Go to Settings ⚙.
- Select Back up company.
- Sign in to your Intuit account, then click Authorize to proceed.
For your last query, yes, the attachments will be included whenever you save your backups to your online drive. You can see the list of data available to back up from Data you can back up section of this article: Back up and restore your QuickBooks Online Advanced Company.
