Trouble Uploading Your Desktop File? Here’s How to Fix It

If you’re experiencing issues uploading your accounting file, don’t worry—here are a few troubleshooting steps to help you resolve the problem:

1. Use a Supported Browser

For the smoothest upload experience, we recommend using Google Chrome. You can download it here.

2. Verify File Type Compatibility

Make sure your file has a valid extension based on your location:

  • Australia: .myo, .myox, .qbb, .qbw

  • New Zealand: .myo, .myox

  • USA: .ptb, .qbb, .qbw, .qbm

Warning
Important: Only upload the actual data file — not additional documents, folders, or entire directories. Files that are incorrectly zipped, deleted, or modified may fail to upload.

3. Check the File Size

If the file size is 0 bytes, it means the file is empty and cannot be processed. Please re-save the file from your accounting software before attempting to upload again.

4. Follow Zip File Format Guidelines

Only one file should be included in the zip archive (unless performing a bulk upload).

For single file conversions:

  • Extract the correct data file from the folder

  • Re-zip it individually before uploading

5. Large File Handling

We accept zipped files up to 800MB. If your file exceeds this limit:

  • Try optimising or rolling the file in MYOB to reduce its size

  • Re-zip and upload again

Info: If you prefer, we can process your file as-is using our Custom Conversion service. Large files may take longer than the standard 3–5 business day timeframe.

6. Avoid Password-Protected Zips

Files zipped directly from MYOB may be password-protected, which can block the upload.
Instead:

  • Compress the file manually outside of MYOB

  • Ensure the zip folder is not password protected

7. Check for Corrupted Zips or Files

Zip files may become corrupted during compression. If this happens:

  • Re-zip the file and try uploading again
