No. Migration Assistant is for moving all of your User data to another Mac.


There are several ways to move individual files from one to another Mac.

1) using an external drive or flash drive.

2) using File Sharing. Set up file sharing on Mac - Apple Support

3) using iCloud. Use iCloud to share and collaborate on files and folders - Apple Support
