in QBO it is not done that way, you invite your accountant to log in as a user, then he can see your transactions and any attachments to those transactions
I've had this same issue. In My Accountant > Shared Documents I get the screen (see attachment) that says "You don’t have any documents here yet" but there is no button that says upload. My accountant has one on their end, but I don't? Is this a technical issue that can be corrected by the user?
I'd be glad to guide you through the steps on how to send a file to your accountant, Jane.
The Shared documents tab will show the list of files that you've sent to your accountant. The option to send a file will not show up unless a request is made by your accountant and the file is already uploaded.
For you to upload documents for the first time, your accountant needs to send a request. Once done, follow these steps on how to upload the file:
Go to the Requests tab.
Click the request under the To do section and go to Documents in the right-hand corner.
Select Documents.
Look for the Upload button and select the file that you want to send to your accountant.
Once a file is uploaded, go back to the Shared documents tab and an Upload button should show up.
