What is a QBO file?

QBO files mostly belong to Quickbooks by Intuit. A QBO file contains financial information saved by QuickBooks business accounting software. This file is saved in QFX format which is Intuit's proprietary variant of Open Financial Exchange (OFX) format. Various banking applications use OFX format to receive and transfer a customer's financial information over the Internet. When such data is prepared with QuickBooks, it is saved as a QBO file. Another type of QBO file is a database query compiled with and used by dBASE database management system.

How to open a QBO file

You need a suitable software like Quickbooks to open a QBO file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your QBO file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a QBO file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
