Desktop to Online Nightmare

Going on hour number five of the nightmare that is switching from Desktop to Online. Did this after they jacked the annual desktop subscription to $649 and in preparation for switching from unsupported QB POS to a new POS (not Shopify - what a mess that was/is) in the new year.

Support has convinced me I need to condense my desktop file and I’m concerned that’s going to lead to data loss and further corruption.

Migration Support claims that my “total targets” are too high to migrate online (I’ve been in business over 10 years). I had to have Intuit “rebuild” my business file a few years ago when data became corrupt during a sync and backup.

I really want to leave Quickbooks and Intuit completely behind, but they still seem to be accountants’ and POS syncing programs’ preferred software.

Has anyone else dealt with this and lived to tell the tale?
