Before sending us your file, you need to call us to request the service (Australia 1300 555 123 or New Zealand 0508 328 283).

When you call we'll explain the process and provide:

• a username and password which you'll need to upload your file to our secure server
• the applicable submission form (serial number removal, password reset, or data file repair), and
• any other information you might need regarding the service.

We'll then email you the required submission form which you need to complete and upload with your data file.

1. For Australian clients, go to https://datafile.myob.com.au or for New Zealand go to https://ftp.myob.co.nz

2. At the login window, enter your Username and Password. These details were provided to you by MYOB.
   

   Once logged in, you will see two folders:

   • the datafile folder is where you upload your company file

   • the documents folder is where you upload your submission form.
     

3. Click the datafile folder (NOT the checkbox). You need to be within this folder to upload your file.

4. Click Adding.
   
5. Browse to the backup file you want to upload. This will be a ZIP file (as shown in the example below). Click the file then click Open.
   
6. Click Upload.

Getting an error when uploading?

The following error will be encountered if you attempt to upload a file directly to the Parent Directory:

To avoid this error, make sure you upload your files to the applicable folders. In other words, upload your data file to the datafile folder, and your submission forms to the documents folder.

When all files are uploaded, send a confirmation email to the MYOB Data File Repair Team to advise that your file has been uploaded. For Australian clients email datafiles@myob.com.au, or New Zealand clients email data@myob.co.nz
