Can I export a Quickbooks file from Quickbooks Online?

Glad to see you here in the Community, @rhix.

I can help you export data from QuickBooks Online (QBO) to QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). 

First, we need to make sure your security settings in Internet Explorer and QBDT are set up properly. I'll guide you how:

How To Set Up Internet Explorer:

1. Right-click the Internet Explorer icon and select Run as administrator.
2. Click the Gear icon, and then select Internet options.
3. Choose Security, then Trusted sites > Sites.
4. Add *.intuit.com to the zone field.
5. Make sure Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone is unchecked.
6. Close the Trusted Sites window.
7. Uncheck Enable Protected Mode.
8. Click Apply, then Okay. Leave Internet Explorer open.

How To Set Up QuickBooks Desktop:

1. Right-click the QuickBooks Desktop icon and select Run as administrator. 
2. Go to the File menu, and then select Close Company.
3. Leave QuickBooks Desktop open while you complete the rest of the steps.

Now that you've got your security settings ready, you can now prepare to export your QuickBooks Online data. Here's how:

1. Go to the Gear icon.
