Jonathan, More to the point of files on your desktop: from what you have provided, I suspect the following. 1. You tell Gnucash to save your data on the desktop. 2. You do your work, save and exit Gnucash. 3. You take the saved file and move it to your cloud folder, and then delete all the

Roger, So you only made a copy. That is, the original file is still in the same place. You opened GnuCash, you can see all of your transactions still there, but your reports (I presume Balance Sheet in this case) are blank? Did you go over the report Options? Some reports start blank until you

In an accounting sense, giving money to pay off the principal of a loan is not an expense. It is a transfer to pay down a liability. Similarly, giving money towards an RRSP (Canada) or 401K (US) is not an expense. It is a transfer to an asset account. These are the transfers that are captured by

There are two pieces of this problem. The first is that GnuCash 2.6.x (and before, back to GnuCash 2.0.0) uses Gtk2 for its GUI toolkit and that stopped active development before HiDPI monitors became common. GnuCash 3.0 will use Gtk3 which has much better support for HiDPI. That’s the good
