    iCloud Drive vs. Dropbox for Desktop Sync

    Hello! I know someone who wants to keep their desktop in sync across two Macs. The two obvious options to me are to either turn on iCloud Drive Desktop & Documents Folder sync, or use Dropbox with a link to the Desktop folder. I think both options will work, but what I'm hoping can happen is...
