Dec 23, 2017 Convert from Quicken 2015 to Quickbooks 2018 I am trying to convert to quickbooks 2018 from quicken 2015 so I needed to use the quicken converter tool to update but the instructions say that it will creat a new.qdf file but the converter is creating an importable qxf file that cannot be opened in quickbooks either. Quicken cannot natively import CSVs, so a file converter is needed to change CSV into QFX files or QIF files for Quicken use. Different versions of Quicken are compatible with QFX, QIF, and QXF files. MoneyThumb's CSV2QFX Convert software is a fast and easy way to convert CSVs to QFXs. Feb 09, 2016 Quicken automatically downloads the conversion utility it needs to convert your Quicken for Windows file. If you see this window just wait. The process will continue automatically after the download is complete. If you don’t see this progress window, that means Quicken already has the latest conversion utility and you will jump straight to. Quicken 2019 version, this converted easily into the above using the Convert utility and took less than 1hr, There were a few errors and these were easy to fix. My version UK of Desktop Pro 2020 which I have purchased from the local South Africa Intuit representative Easybiz. Does not have the convert tool in the Utility tab.

I am trying to move data from my Windows Quicken 2020, build 27.1.25.21 to a newly installed Mac subscription program. However, when I get to the step about importing the Windows file, I get a pop up that says 'This version of Quicken uses Quicken Cloud to import Quicken Windows files'. However, I do not want to put my data in the cloud and if I cancel out of this step, no data is converted. I can easily see the Windows file on the thumb drive, so why can't the program simply convert this file instead of uploading it and then downloading it again. I don't want to put the file in the cloud.

- Accepted Answer@pfrank Is your Mac running macOS Catalina (10.15)? The Windows converter is older 32-bit code that cannot run on macOS Catalina. That's a fundamental limitation of macOS. The way the Quicken developers worked around this is by creating a cloud-based process to run the 32-bit conversion code. Your only other alternative would be doing your conversion on a Mac running an older version of macOS, and then moving your data file to your Mac.QMac 2007 & QMac Subscription • Quicken user since 1993
- Accepted Answer@Chris_QPW I believe the problem with the Windows-to-Mac converter is that Wine was 32-bit code. (There is a 64-bit version that is labeled as 'not tested very much, and some applications may never work'.)
But as you suggest, users have reported that if you have Quicken still running on a Windows machine, exporting to QXF and then moving the QXF file to the Mac and importing that does work. It displays a window with a message that says the Windows file was converted with an older conversion software and recommends that you use their newer one, but you can choose to continue and it apparently works. I have no idea what was fixed or improved that you might miss out on doing it this way.
But going back to the original concern from @pfrank, Quicken has previously confirmed that 'The cloud converter does not save, retain or store any data.' The data file securely uploaded to the cloud is deleted when the conversion is completed. So there's really no reason to work around using the most current converter, even though it uses a converter on their server to work.QMac 2007 & QMac Subscription • Quicken user since 1993

- I wonder what the state is of the Quicken Windows QXF export.In theory the 'Mac conversion utility' is just a hacked version of Quicken Windows running in Wine on the Mac to do the export, and then importing the QXF file into the Mac data file. If they kept up with adding whatever changes they put in the hacked version of Quicken Windows into current Quicken Windows Subscription version then all that would be needed is to do the QXF export on Windows and then import the QXF file into Quicken Mac.(I'm using the latest Quicken subscription version)

My MacBook is running Catalina. Now somewhat understand why my data needs to go to cloud first. Also seems like my concern about putting my data into the cloud may be somewhat misguided.
Also, not sure about the state of my windows QFX file other than it comes from my Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit machine, but this is prob a moot point now. - The file type for a Quicken Windows data file is .QDF, that is what you would normally be transferring to the Mac and let it upload/convert.In the 'background' the converter will be using a 'part of Quicken Windows' to convert to a file format that has a type .QXF. Note the Windows program is 32-bit and will not run on your operating system, that is why it has to be run on the server. This just puts the data in a format that Quicken Mac knows how to read and convert into its data file format. Quicken Mac will then use the .QXF file to create your new Quicken Mac data file and delete the .QXF file.Note that you mentioned a .QFX this isn't a .QXF file (unfortunately they picked letters that are very close). A QFX file is the 'Web Connect' file that financial institutions can use to send you transactions to import into your data file.(I'm using the latest Quicken subscription version)
- Yes, I did change file types, my bad! QDF is what I should have said, thanks!
