Why can't I access files created on my desktop on my laptop?

I recently downloaded CC to my desktop and laptop successfully. In anticipating a business trip, I created a number of files on the desktop and saved them to the cc folder. Now, I'm on my laptop, 3,000 miles away from my desktop and the folders I created are in the CC folder, but not the actual files. I can find them in the online account, but when downloaded, the links are messed up. Is there a way that I can access the files from my laptop?
