If you are using iCloud Drive, with the option for Desktop & Documents checked, then it will sync to the cloud and you can access your files from a browser. Also, if you have another computer using iCloud Drive your files will sync up and you can access them there as well.

Image attached of the option for Desktop & Documents to sync to iCloud Drive. You can find iCloud under System Preferences.


Let me know if this works out for you.
