The name of your macOS user account and the name of your home folder must both be the same. Changing these names does not change or reset the password of your user account.

Because doing this incorrectly could damage your account and prevent you from logging in, you should back up your important data before proceeding.

First rename the home folder

Walk through of how to change your connection types in Quicken for Mac.

1. Log out of the account you're renaming, then log in to a different administrator account. (If you don't have another administrator account, you can create one in Users & Groups preferences.)
   
2. Open the Users folder on the startup disk. It contains the home folder for each user. To get there, you can choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu bar, then enter /Users.
3. Rename the user's home folder without using any spaces in the new name. You'll be prompted to enter the administrator name and password that you used to log in. If you're using file sharing to share the home folder, you won't be able to rename it until you stop sharing the folder.

Still, there are differences between the two products.

Then rename the account

While still logged out of the account you're renaming, follow these additional steps:

Starting with Quicken 2010, Intuit has greatly simplified the structure of a
Quicken 'file'. Previously, what Intuit called 'a file' was actually a set
of related files with extensions such as the ones you mentioned. Quicken
knew to include the full fileset when we used options in its File | File
Operations menu. Now, all those subsidiary files are included in the single
QDATA.QDF file.

Now we can use normal Windows tools, such as Windows Explorer, to just
right-click on the QDATA.QDF program file and Rename it there.

But I haven't actually tried that, so it probably would be safest to use
Quicken 2011's File | Save a copy as..., give it the new name, and then load
that new copy. Or use File | File operations | Copy... in the same way.
When you are sure it is working right, you can delete the original.

Unless John Pollard has a better idea...
