Workspaces aren't synced. So... where are they stored under Windows and Mac OS?

I'm logged in with the same account on both systems, but despite claims I've seen to the contrary, a workspace I created and saved on my Windows computer does not appear on my Mac.

Presumably there's a workspace file I can manually copy between the two computers, but where do these reside under these OSes?

And are workspaces supposed to sync?

Sync and storage

Correct answer Eugene Tyson

macOS:
The workspace files (XML files) are stored in the following location: /Users/[username]/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/Version [version number]/en_xx/Workspaces.

Windows:
The workspace files are located in this folder: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\Version [version number]\en_xx\Workspaces.
