Hi there, @peanutbuttercrea.

Thank you for reaching out to the Community. I'd be glad to provide some additional info about the .qbxml download.

QBXML files are commonly exported to backup financial data in XML format or to transfer QuickBooks data in a format that is more widely supported than QuickBooks formats. The file is not intended to be opened by QuickBooks.

There are a few limitation when we export files to QuickBooks Online. You can check this article for more details:

Also, I suggest to get in touch with our Intuit Developers to get more details about the additional characters in the QBXML file. Please click here.

In case you need further help from the Community team, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. Have a great day!

Thanks for the extra info on a QBXML file. I understand what it's used for as well as the limitations. I didn't find anything within your answer that helps me to download or export the file. Am I missing something? How can I obtain the file? Thanks!

Hello there, @peanutbuttercrea.

Thanks for following up on this thread. I'd be glad to provide information with exporting your QuickBooks Online company file.

In QuickBooks Online, there's a Visual Guide to Exporting that is a huge help to exporting your QuickBooks Online company to QuickBooks Desktop. The instructions here include the necessity to run both Internet Explorer and QuickBooks Desktop as administrator, adding necessary Intuit domains to your trusted sites and more.

I'm always a few clicks away if you have any more questions or concerns. Have a safe and productive rest of your day!
