Q: I have a new macbook air, how do I sync it to my existing macbook pro?
Hi forum, I'm sure this question has been asked many times. However, when I performed a search I wasn't able to find a response.
In any event, I have a new macbook air that I purchased for travel purposes. At first, I didn't want to sync it to my existing macbook pro... now, I'm thinking that was a poor decision. And... I can't figure out how to "marry" the two. I'd like to use the macbook pro as my "home" or "base" machine.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thank you,
edevinco

You can sync things like photos, contacts, calendars, reminders, notes, etc via the settings in Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud.
If you have documents you would like to be on both machines and kept in sync you can do that by turning on iCloud Drive in that same Preferences window and then moving the documents in question to the iCloud Drive folder. A convenient way to make that folder accessible is to go to Finder Preferences and click on Sidebar at the top of the Finder Preferences window and put a check mark in front of iCloud Drive in the Favorites section of that window.
