what do you mean with "compressing"? Do you mean "condensing" or else? Any specific issue?

The Community has your back, @catalfanoc. We're here to make sure you can move your data from QuickBooks Desktop to Online right away.

To clarify, are you getting any sort of issue when trying to condense your file? After condensing your QBDT file, it must be less than 350,000 targets. You can follow the steps in this article on how to check the total targets, as well as how to resolve issues after condensing your company file: Condense your QuickBooks Desktop file for import to QuickBooks Online.
 

Once done, here's how to export the file:

  1. Restore the backup copy.
  2. Click the Company menu.
  3. Choose Export Company File to QuickBooks Online.

  4. Select Start your export.
  5. Sign in as an admin to your QuickBooks Online company.
  6. Follow the next on-screen instructions.
     

Here's a link with the details on how you can move your Desktop file to Online: Move your QuickBooks Desktop file to QuickBooks Online.

 

Know that there are limitations when you convert your file. That includes the attachments, audit trail, and recurring transactions. Once done, I'd recommend running the Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet reports to ensure that you transferred your data correctly. To verify your reports in both products, filter the date period to All Dates and the accounting method to Accrual. For more information, check out this article: What to Do After Converting from QBDT for Windows to QBO.
