With iCloud, this is very easy to do and here’s how to do it:

1. Go to     > System Preferences.
2. Click on either Your Name, or the Apple ID icon on the upper-right of that window.
3. Scroll down until you see the iCloud option.  
4. Click it to select it.
5. Sign in to iCloud if prompted.
6. Put a Check Mark next to the iCloud option
7. Now click the [Options] button. 
8. In this area, place a checkmark next to the Desktop & Documents Folder.
9. Click [DONE] when finished. 
10. That’s it. 

After the iMac and iCloud sync all files, it will automatically save any changes to any files that you may create, edit, and/or save from your Mac, into iCloud, and then you can have access to those files on other connected machines.
