Whether you've upgraded your system, restored a backup, or switched devices, it’s common for users to lose track of where the data file is stored. Your Quicken data file holds all your critical financial information, so locating it is essential to continue using the software smoothly.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to find your Quicken data file quickly and safely. If you run into trouble, you can always call +1-877-200-6891 to get personalized help from Quicken customer support.
What Is the Quicken Data File?
The Quicken data file (usually ending in .QDF) is the file where all of your financial records are saved — including account details, transactions, reports, and more. Without this file, Quicken won’t be able to load your financial data.

How to Find Your Quicken Data File
Here are several methods to locate your Quicken data file, depending on your system and Quicken version:
Method 1: Use Quicken's Built-In File Finder
- Open Quicken.
- Click on File in the top-left corner.
- Select Find Quicken Files.
- A list of all .QDF files on your system will appear.
- Click on the file you want to open.
Method 2: Search Through File Explorer (Windows)
- Press Windows + E to open File Explorer.
- In the search bar, type *.QDF and hit Enter.
- This will search your entire computer for any Quicken data files.
- Note the file path of the one you want to use.
Method 3: Default Save Location
If you haven’t changed the default settings, your Quicken data file is usually stored here:
Windows:
makefile
CopyEdit
C:\Users\[Your Username]\Documents\Quicken
Mac (for Quicken for Mac users):
swift
CopyEdit
/Users/[Your Username]/Library/Application Support/Quicken/Documents
Note: The Library folder is hidden by default on Mac. Use the Finder > Go > Go to Folder… and paste the path above to access it.

Still Can’t Find It? Try a Recent Files List
If Quicken has been opened recently, you can also check:
- Open Quicken.
- Click File > Open Recent.
- A list of recently used data files will be shown.
- Click on the one you recognize.
