Can I save the company file on a usb drive?

Frappe Books
1

I want to save the company file on a usb drive. I want to access Frappe Books on my desktop and laptop. Sometime while in the shop I use my laptop, while monitoring a machine. I also want to have frappe books when I am at home on my laptop. I’m not interested using a cloud account. At times I don’t have internet access.

Thank you,

Jeff

Best approach is setup Google drive / one drive on your machine and let your data sync on your account. that way you will be able access it whenever you want.

USB also should work, i never tried.

Yes, you can run Frappe Books using a USB drive to keep your company file portable between devices like your desktop and laptop. Since you’re not using a cloud account and sometimes lack internet access, storing the data locally makes sense.

Here’s what you can do:

  1. Install Frappe Books on both your desktop and laptop.
  2. Save the company file/database on your USB drive.
  3. When switching devices, plug in the USB and open the company file using Frappe Books on that machine.

Just make sure:

  • You always close Frappe Books properly before unplugging the USB to avoid file corruption.
  • Only use one device at a time to open and update the file — don’t edit it on both without syncing, or you could lose data.

This setup should work well offline and keep your accounting portable across work and home. https://indiarentalz.com
