How to migrate a MAXQDA 2022 TeamCloud project to MAXQDA 24?

Modified on Fri, 26 Apr at 2:23 PM

To open a TeamCloud project with MAXQDA 24 that has been created with MAXQDA 2022, please proceed as follows: 

  • Make sure that all team members have uploaded their work from the current cycle.
  • Open the TeamCloud project in MAXQDA 2022 and import all pending files from team members.
  • Save the TeamCloud project as a local project by selecting Export as Local Project from the TeamCloud menu tab. This will create a MAXQDA 2022 project file with the extension .mx22.
  • Close MAXQDA 2022 and open MAXQDA 24.
  • Click Open in the welcome screen and select the previously exported file. MAXQDA will convert it to a MAXQDA 24 project and create a .mx24 project file.
  • Navigate to the TeamCloud menu tab and select Upload Project for Team (Start Cycle 1). This will create a new TeamCloud project and you can invite your team members again.
  • After your team members have accepted the invitation, they can open MAXQDA 24 and – after logging in with their MAXQDA account – access the project from the MAXQDA welcome screen.


Once your team members have accepted the invitation, they can open MAXQDA 24 and – after logging in with their MAXQDA account – access the project.

Note: All team members must have MAXQDA 24 to be able to open the new project. It will not work if some team members use MAXQDA 2022 and others use MAXQDA 24. On your MAXQDA 24 home screen you will only see MAXQDA 24 TeamCloud projects. This also applies to the list of TeamCloud projects, which you can access via the menu item TeamCloud > Open Team Project.


We recommend the following procedure:


1.As described above, export your existing TeamCloud project to MAXQDA 22. 

2. All members install MAXQDA 24. 

3. As described above, the team lead converts the MAXQDA 2022 project to an MAXQDA 24 project. 

4.The team lead uploads the file as a new project. 

5.The team lead invites all members to the new project. 

6.Team members accept the invitation. 

7.Team members download the project and can start editing.
