The default location is a folder inside the folder where you have your Quicken data file. By default, it's in your User folder, in the Library folder (hidden by default), in Applications Services > Quicken. But you can set the location of your backup files in Preferences > General.Quicken Mac Subscription • Quicken user since 19930

I got fed up searching for the data file in a Hidden Mac folder.
I created my own folder in Documents and moved the data file there...without any ill effects.
But, just a note...I do NOT automatically sync my Documents folder with iCloud. You need to uncheck that setting in Mac Preferences > Cloud.0 -
