Hi everyone,
We are 5 simultaneous users of qb enterprise via rdp (locally), now want to ask can we store our company file in Google drive natively installed in local server for the sack of data security from any kind of hardware problem and secure on cloud too.
Seeking for your guidance.
Thank you
Database means activate company file.
You can secure your backup file (QBB) and upload it to your cloud drive (e.g GDrive).
Thanks for your response.
I'm not asking for uploading backup or company file again and again.
I m asking for company file redirect with google drive realtime sync folder. In this way is my company file actively in use and actively backed up?
You are only able to create a backup file in single user mode. We have yet to find any method to create a backup file in real time when you are using it. We haven't found a method yet to create a realtime backup file when using it. They don't support any failover scenario.
Hi,
Storing your QuickBooks Enterprise company file directly in Google Drive isn't recommended due to the file's structure and the potential for conflicts with simultaneous users accessing it via RDP. Directly storing the database file in a cloud storage service might lead to data corruption or inconsistencies.
A better approach involves using a dedicated data integration tool to synchronize your QuickBooks data with Google Drive. This allows for backups and potentially, if the software supports it, near real-time replication of data changes.
You could use Skyvia for this or another similar tool. Here is a quick guide:
1. Configure Skyvia to connect to your QuickBooks Enterprise database. This usually involves providing connection credentials.
2. Establish a connection to your Google Drive account, specifying the desired folder for storing backups or synchronized data.
3. Specify how often data should be synced (e.g., daily, hourly backups, or near real-time).
4. Test the synchronization process with a copy of your data to ensure it works as expected before deploying it to your live system.
