  Click on get updates and also it will start the download process.
  When the download process is complete, restart the QuickBooks software.

  Reduce the size of the company file.
  In case the QuickBooks company file size is greater than 200 MB, you may face issues in sending the file to the Intuit server.
  
  This can be done in two ways:
  
  You can reduce the file size by creating a portable version of the company file, which is easy to move. It is basically a compact version of the company file that’s easy to send. This can be done by moving to the company file and open it, followed by pressing F2 key on the keyboard, so as to open the product information window. If the file size is greater than 200 MB, then you can try to restore QuickBooks portable company file.
  And the other option is to manually save and send the QBX/QBY without the Accountant file transfer service.
