Keeping two iMacs in synch

I have two iMacs (m1), one is in my home office and the other is in a vacation home that I visit every three months or so. What is a good way to bring the vacation iMac up-to-date (data files) with the office iMac? And then bring the office up-to-date with the changes I made while on vacation?

iMac 24″, macOS 12.3

can imac and macbook have the same contents Is there a way I can link my MacBook to my iMac such that they always have the same contents? My iMac is in the Office and I bring my MacBook home. I was hoping to have an easy way to link the two such that essentially they have all the same contents and are always in sync with each other. Ive availed of storage from iCloud if that helps. Thanks a lot!

Syncing iMac and MacBook Air Desktops I have a personal iMac and a work-issued MacBook Air. Both are running the latest MacOS Monterey (version 12.2.1). The work-issued MBA is a "new" one I received about three weeks ago after my "original" MBA would no longer charge. Now, the MBA and iMac aren't syncing files and edits between one another. I've checked to make sure that I am logged in through the same Apple account to both devices. Yet, I'm not seeing any changes made to any file on one device sync to the other device. Thoughts, advice, ideas - all are welcome!

Only if you use a cloud storage like iCloud or OneDrive.

Or use a portable hard drive with the common files and schlep it back and forth.
