Storage Limit

Hi.

 

We've recently started using Quickbooks Online.

Is there a total limit to the attachments we can store in our account?

I understand there is a 20mb limit per transaction. 

We find it convenient to be able to store the scanned copies of files here per transaction, we're just worried as to the limit of how much in total we can add. 

 

Thanks for your help!

Hey there, @Koizumi008. Happy to provide some insight here.

 

I have some good news to share with you about the attachment feature in QuickBooks Online.

 

Since QuickBooks Online is a cloud base, there isn't a storage limit on attachments and other selected data. That said, it's unlimited storage for this feature.

 

Check out these articles to know what transactions can keep attachments and acceptable characters in QuickBooks:

    Do you have any information on how long attachments will be available in QBO for use as backup to financial records?

      I see your answer identifies a way to export data. Does that include attachments?

      4. Select Batch Actions and click Export.
