laptop desktop folder now appears on the desktop screen

For no apparent reason, the "Desktop - MacBook Pro" folder appeared on the desktop of my Mac Mini. It is convenient but I don't know how this happened. However, is there a way to make the "Desktop - Mini" folder appear on the MacBook Pro's screen? I would love to make this happen but not knowing how this happened makes it impossible for me to do. Any suggestions?


Mac mini, macOS 14.3

It appears it is related to your iCloud...



if iCloud Drive got turned on, I would look there for some insight.


Add your Desktop and Documents files to iCloud Drive
