Hi,

Just got a new mac mini, and I hoped it would be possible to have same files (synchronized over iCloud) on both desktops of the new mini and MBP. However, when I try to access iCloud Desktop folder on the mini, it's empty and doesn't show any files from the older MBP. Perhaps that's natural to have desktop folderr separated for both computers, but how then can I access the iCloud Desktop folder of MBP? I am aware of shared folder possibility, but I don't want to have MBP allways on. Any ideas if it is possible to have one shared Desktop folder, or at least a link to it? Or should I simply use another folder on iCloud?
 
Solved basically by itself, had to make changes in iCloud folder (created new folder) through the web browser, and most likely these changes initiated the update process on computer.
