One of the featured items of macOS Sierra is the ability to share your desktop and Documents folders via iCloud.  It’s great for me, because I have two macs and several iOS devices, old and new iPhones and an iPad.  So everything that’s contained in those two places are available anywhere.<\/p>\n

But not immediately.  At least not at first.<\/p>\n

Now, I could move some of this stuff out of Documents first, and I did for a couple of very dynamic items that didn’t need to be shared across machines.  But I sort of like the idea of being able, on a whim, on the road, to dig down into my 2002 archives to find a shell-script that I wrote long ago and has some features I might want to look at again.<\/p>\n
