titleWhy am I getting the message 'Unable to upload'?

Due to variations in internet connections, the "unable to upload" message can sometimes display even when the company file has actually uploaded successfully.

If you Cancel the message, you might find the file is online and can be accessed.

If you see the "unable to automatically synchronise" message after uploading your file, complete the following:

  1. Open the online company file (if it isn't already).
  2. Go to the File menu and choose Sync Company File. The Ready to synchronise message appears.

titleWhy am I getting the message 'The serial number doesn't match your account'?

If you're getting the message 'The serial number doesn't match your account' when uploading a company file, check the email address you're using to log into AccountRight Live. This should be the email address you used when you registered AccountRight.

If the issue persists, call MYOB Tech Support (Australia 1300 555 123 or NZ 0508 328 283).

titleTroubleshooting file uploads

Uploading a company file relies on a reliable internet connection. Poor upload speeds (less than 0.5mbps) and intermittent dropouts caused by wireless and satellite internet connections can affect the upload process.

You can check your upload speed at speedtest.net

Some antivirus, firewall, or automatic backup software programs can also affect uploading. If you're having problems, try temporarily disabling these programs to see if they're causing the issue. If they are, refer to the software's documentation for more help, or speak to an IT professional.

If your file upload issues persist, contact MYOB Technical Support.

titleHow do I permanently remove my file from the cloud?

How do I remove my file from being online?

You can permanently move your company file from the cloud if your AccountRight subscription has ended, or you no longer want online access. If you just want temporary offline access you can check out your file.

To move your file offline:

  1. Take a backup of your online file. See Backing Back up your company file for instructions.
  2. Restore the backup to the AccountRight library on your computer. See Restoring Restore your company file for instructions. 

If you later want to return your file to the cloud, see the information above about getting your file online.

titleWhat happens to my online company file if my AccountRight subscription ends?

If your AccountRight subscription ends, your online company file will be accessible as a read-only file for 30 days from the date your subscription ends. During this time you can create a backup of the file and restore it on your computer.

If you have an AccountRight desktop software license, you can continue working with AccountRight offline.
