Files that our customers upload are stored on Google Drive, which is considered one of the most secure cloud storage services. It uses AES 256-bit encryption to protect data stored on its servers and TLS/SSL protocols for data transfers. 

QuickBooks Online (QB) and QuickBooks Self-Employed financial features take advantage of state-of-the-art encryption and authentication technologies, including Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), digital certificates, and RSA encryption to protect the security and privacy of your financial information. Internet security is supported by addressing three key security objectives: Authentication, Privacy, and Integrity.

• Authentication: QB requires the use of a personal identification number (PIN) and a customer ID number when you access your account or send payment instructions or other information to a financial institution or processor. This is supported by the use of digital certificate technology provided by VeriSign, the leading online certificate authority. No one at Intuit or your financial institution has access to your PIN.
• Privacy: QB combines SSL and RSA to provide message encryption when communicating online to maximize the security of your data and to ensure that only the intended audience can read a message or access data. Additionally, QuickBooks Online provides a password feature to ensure that only people with the correct password have access to your financial information.
• Integrity: QB uses SSL and RSA security technology to provide message integrity and ensure that messages received have not been altered after they have left the sender.
