To sync files between two computers, you must connect both to the same network and make sure you've set the correct installation options for each computer. The best way to do this is to uninstall QuickBooks on both PCs and then reinstall with the correct options. Your QuickBooks company file remains on the computer when you complete the uninstall.

If you have two separate company files that need to be merged, you can use the Data Transfer Utility, a third-party commercial utility for merging company files.
