I am migrating the data from desktop to online but it is taking 3-4 hours to prepare file even though the file size is quite small. May I know the reason for the same?

Do you need migrating data from QB Desktop US version to QB Online US version?

How big is the Total Target?

Which QB Desktop year version do you run?

Yes I'm migrating data for US version only.

Target file is around 700.

I'm using QuickBooks Enterprise 22 version.

Attaching the file that shows that upload gets stuck to that point

Yes I'm using the US version.

Attaching the file showing the upload gets stuck at this point.

If you prefer to choose QBO Plus or a lower version, you will need to reduce your Total Target size to less than 350K by condensing it or purchasing a third party conversion service.

Thanks for letting us know about this, @uservijayeta-chetnan. I'll be happy to share some details about data migration.

When migrating to QuickBooks Online it only takes about 30 minutes to complete. You'll want to make sure that you're in QBDT  until the migration is complete. 

Your computer's specifications, the internet, and any other background apps can all slow down data migration. Other apps that are running in the background may need to be closed. Simply hold down CTRL and ALT while pressing the DELETE key. Then, close any programs you aren't using right now.

If the issue persists, I recommend reaching out to our QuickBooks Online Support team. This way, a representative can check and investigate to determine the root cause of the problem.

Additionally, I've got you these articles for future reference:

• Learn how features and data move from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online.
• What to do after you move from QuickBooks Desktop for Windows or Mac to QuickBooks Online.

I can assure you that I'm just a click away  if there's anything else that you'd like me to help you with. Drop a comment down below, I'll keep an eye on your response. Take care!

Total target is only 178 thus I don't have to reduce the size. Can you please help me with it?

Run the the Verify/Rebuild Data utility and try to migrate your data again. If the same error persists, try migrating the sample company files to QBO to make sure your QBD 2022 is working normally.
