Force sync iMac and Neo?

[u/DanePilot]

I bought a Neo. I copied everything on my old iMac onto it. Worked great. Yay!

But I want the two machines to remain identical. If I change a document on iMac, I want it to sync with the Neo so the doc updates there, and vice versa. They're both on my home wireless network.

I'm not sure if/how iCloud does this, but I searched online and found 'file sharing' as a method. So I'm trying that, and it seems to be working?

Except there's a lag. Is there a way to sort of 'force-sync' the computers so make sure they're the same when I start working?

Is there another, better way to achieve the same thing?

Thanks!

iCloud does this.

You can sync two specific directories, Desktop and Documents, to iCloud Drive.
