I'm here to share some information about backing up and restoring company file, RettaCarl.
You can use DropBox in synchronizing your company file. The advantage of using Dropbox is you can access it anytime and anywhere since it's a web-based program. However, we don't recommend it because there are times that connectivity and syncing issues occur upon performing the backup process.
Since you've that you've like to access your company file in your home and office, you'll want to host a QuickBooks Desktop company file. This way, you'll be able to access QBDT remotely using an internet browser or remote desktop connection from your home or office. QuickBooks Desktop with Hosting offers protection anytime, anywhere, and on any device accessing your data. You and your team (if you have one) can all work with the same info at the same time no matter where they are and no matter if they use a Mac, PC, or tablet.
With this program, your QuickBooks software and data are stored on an enterprise-level web server at a secure facility. Then, you can access them over a secure internet connection from anywhere or any device rather than using your local network.
For more information about this program, you can read the articles that I've listed below:
I've also included an article that will guide you in setting up a multi-user network: Hosting your company data in multi-user mode in QuickBooks Desktop.
