It must be me because this doc makes them sound like they do the same thing: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/about-cloud-documents.html

What am I missing? I have two macs now and woukd like one version of any particular file I work on available at both machines. Most of them will be InDesign files. For example I edit a brochure on my laptop and then open it ltater on from my desktop a nd it reflects those recent edits. Thanks for any help you can offer.

From computer #1, upload InDesign file to cloud storage.

From computer #2, download InDesign file from cloud storage.

Rinse & repeat.

Thanks for the reply Nancy. I've been doing some test and if I put the ID file in the Creative Cloud Files folder (see attached screenshot) that resides in my finder sidebar, I can work off of that file and it will update across the board. So if I'm on another computer and logged into the same CC account, opening that ID file via that same sidebar folder will be the latest version. I'm hoping this is the right workflow because it's exactly what I wanted it to do.

No. Think about it. What's on local computer hard drive #1 is NOT what's on computer hard drive #2 until you pull it down from the Cloud.
