Setting up a new data file
...
- You may name the data file whatever you'd like by choosing File → Rename... from the Quicken menu.
- The default location of your file depends on whether you purchased from the Mac App Store or directly from Quicken.com or some other retailer.
- If you bought from the App Store: ~/Library/Containers/com.quicken.QuickenAppStore/Data/Library/Application Support/Quicken/Documents
- Why is it here? The security rules for Mac OS require that, by default, applications read and write files only to this special Sandboxed location. However, you can move the data file to your preferred location.
- In Quicken, choose File → Move To... and choose any location you'd like for your Quicken data file.
- If you bought it from some other source:: ~/Library/Application Support/Quicken/Documents
- Again, you can move this file to your preferred location.
- You can also set up additional data files (this is usually not necessary). However, you can only use one data file at a time. See Using more than one Quicken data file.
