With Quicken for windows, it's really easy: I just have to download a. (To my knowledge, the only way is to upload one file per security, so it takes hours when you have plenty!) I'm a Mac user, but I'm still using Quicken for Windows just because Quicken for Mac is missing an easy method to update international security prices. Like you, I own about a hundred of non-US shares and funds. I use Quicken for Windows version since more than 20 years. What's more there isn't good standard on the "tickers" and as such a system has to be made up and supported in Quicken that makes sure it knows what exchange any given security symbol is for. Or more likely 1 vote for multiple exchanges, each with a cost. With three votes that might be 1 vote per exchange. And so one of first question even to start to think about such support would be to decide on what exchanges people asking for this would want. There isn't just "the US" and then "International". What's more there are added complications. Most Quicken customers most likely get any foreign securities either in a fund (this is the most likely) that is list in the US or the prices come from their brokers. Doesn't really sound like what you describe as a feature that every Quicken customer wants. And Quicken Inc has to justify that cost not only for them, but for their customers. And I'm sure they could pay to have the International feed too, but that will add to the cost. Quicken Inc pays for the third part quote service. What's more a business can't get these quote feeds for free. You can certainly find "fee quotes" all over the place, but first off most of them you pay for them by looking at ads.
