Hello @sheila41,

 

Thank you for posting here in the Community. I'm here to share some clarifications about your QuickBooks Online data.

 

The duration of your files will depend on the status of your subscription. You can keep your files for as long as you want in your account if you maintain an active subscription.

 

The only time your data gets deleted in a specific period is if you have a canceled or inactive subscription. You'll have read-only access to the QuickBooks Online data for one year after the cancellation only.

 

Once exceeded, QuickBooks will delete your data automatically. To keep them intact for three years, ensure your subscription remains active all the time.

 

For additional reference, I've attached a link you can use to know more about the data availability and export policies after cancelation of an Online subscription: What happens to my QuickBooks Online data after I cancel?.

 

Drop me a comment below if you have any other questions about managing your QuickBooks data. I'll be happy to help you some more.
