one-click solution to move complete PS settings/actions/brushes etc. to another mac/PS version?

Question

hiis there a one-click solution to move my complete PS settings/actions/brushes/palette settings to another mac/PS version? i am using PS since years, and need to move my complete settings to another mac or photoshop beta version from time to time. with "complete settings" i mean: photoshop preferences,, brushes, actions, palette positions, palette settings, ... - once they had "sync over cloud" to move all settings, but it never worked for me (not available)- moving settings manually is awkward and needs lot of time on mac

What version of Photoshop are you using?

There is Edit > Presets > Export/Import Presets for different computers.

There is also Edit > Presets > Migrate presets if you have an earlier version on the same computer.

I would always recommend taking the time to explicitly save your actions to .ATN file rather than relying on the Actions Palette.psp preference file:

One can always manually make copies of preset files as one can't have too many backups:
