    There are steps that you would take in Quicken Windows to prepare the data file (QDF) for conversion.  Then, you transfer a copy of the QDF file to your Mac - via network, thumb drive, etc.  Finally, in Quicken Mac, you use File > New and select "Start from a Quicken for Windows file" to begin the cloud conversion.

    The steps are all outlined in the QMac in-product help:

    or

    You could also run Parallels and keep using Quicken for Windows.
