3. Restart the computer and open QuickBooks again and select the company file from the list which gives the error QuickBooks Error -6189,-816 and don’t open it. The selected file always shows the directory path of the QuickBooks Company File Location underneath.

9. Intuit recommends not to store files in the local folders related to any File Sharing Services or Cloud storage applications like Google Drive, Dropbox, One Drive, etc. QuickBooks Cloud Hosting or QuickBooks Online is always a better option if you have the necessity to access your data from other locations or devices. Attempting to open the company files stored in local folders of the Sharing and Cloud Services. While they are in sync with other applications. That causes conflict resulting in QuickBooks Error 6189 816 and other QuickBooks Desktop Issues
