Moving a Large Quicken File to a New Computer

Question

I have a large Quicken file with many attachments that I need to move to a new computer.  I have tried both transferring the file to a large flash drive and moving the file to cloud storage.  Neither method has worked.  The computer on which the file resides is going to fail.  What are my options?  I do not want to begin a new file; the existing file contains transactions and data pertaining to real estate improvements that I need to adjust cost bases.

What do you mean it "failed" ?You either copy the actual Quicken QDF file - to something - and then copy it over to the new computer.You then open it with the other installed version of Quicken. 
Does the other version of Quicken open and run correctly - 
Can you create a New file - just to test that it is working correctly - 
What happens when you try to open the copied over QDF file from the old system - 
What versions are the old and the new ....... Help --> About Quicken

Exactly how big is this file.  I find it very hard to believe that it is the attachments that are causing the problem.  You can strip out the attachments using the copy function, but like I said I doubt that is the problem.
