multiple macbooks for business

Hi Onelegless73,

Yes - you can have more Macs and still have the same files in iCloud, assuming that you have enough iCloud space to hold those files.

If your business or company is intending to use Macs on a larger scale, the IT team should read Apple's Platform Deployment document, find a good mobile device management (MDM) solution, and sign up for Apple Business Manager. This will enable them to drop-ship Macs to end users with zero-touch deployment.

In order to take advantage of zero-touch deployment, your company will need a D-U-N-S number before it can register for Apple Business Manager.

Zero-touch deployment means that the IT team doesn't have to pre-configure the Mac before the end-user receives it. If done correctly, when the end-user powers on the Mac, it starts up in the Setup Assistant, and then connects to your MDM server. It will then download the apps and settings specified by the MDM server. Jamf (a popular Apple MDM company) has a good video detailing the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZC-G2mWIw9A

That said, setting up zero-touch deployment on the server side can be time consuming. It might not be worth the investment if your company is only using a few Macs.
