There are a lot of different software options how to solve business bookkeeping needs . Nowadays, small businesses can use online cloud based accounting software or desktop ( on - premise ) accounting software.
What should I choose? What are the benefits and disadvantages of cloud -based software as compared to on-premise non-cloud accounting software?

The ‘cloud’ simply refers to software and services that you access using the internet with the data being stored on someone else’s computer rather than your own

Advantage

Convenience to access your files from anywhere
not having to install software on your own computer
Easy data sharing

Desktop accounting software is installed and runs on your computer where the data is also usually stored

Advantages

no fees to use the program
data stored on own PC
Internet not required

I agree with this one.

I strongly suggest to use desktop accounting software but also have a cloud version for you to have access everywhere.

I have seen quite a few files from high end software but saved as different file types that end up non-manifold. Getting the native fileif changes are needed and the stl usually works best. Usually an easy fix if there are problems but previewing the gcode is a must.

The window that pops up when starting the software says free-non commercial use. Does this mean I cant use it to print objects for sale? Thanks
