web connector

Can I install the web connector on a machine that is not hosting the company file, but does have access to it through a shared network drive? The network drive appears as the same drive letter on all machines, including the server that is hosting the company file.

Yes, you can install the web connector, @Mr X2. I'll provide further clarifications about doing such through a shared network drive in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT.

You can install QuickBooks Web Connector even if you access the company file through a shared network drive so you can connect QBDT with several third-party online applications. However, it won't show up on the other logins or workstations since it's not installed in the main host. Also, ensure that only one web Connector should be running a sync at the same time.

To get started, you can follow these steps in downloading and installing QuickBooks Web Connector:
 

  1. Close QuickBooks Desktop completely.
  2. Go to the Intuit Developer site and download the latest Web Connector version.
  3. Right-click the QBWebConnector2_R30_xxxxx zip file, then select Extract All.
  4. In the extracted folder, right-click the QBWebConnectorInstaller.exe file, and click the Run as Administrator.
  5. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
  6. Click Allow devices to make changes to your computer, then select Next.
  7. On the License Agreement page, select I accept the terms in the license agreement, then hit Next.
  8. In the Ready to Install Program page, tap Install and then Finish.
