How Do I Locate My MacBook?

Are you looking for a way to locate your MacBook from anywhere? With macOS Sierra, accessing your desktop and files from any device has become easier than ever. In this article, we will guide you through three simple steps to access your MacBook desktop remotely.

Step 1: Enable iCloud on Your MacBook

Before you start, make sure that you have enabled iCloud on your MacBook if you haven't already done so. To do this, click on the Apple logo in the top left corner of your screen and select 'System Preferences' > 'iCloud.' On this screen, enable 'Desktop and Documents Folder' by clicking the checkbox next to it.

Step 2: Tap on the iCloud Drive Icon

On your home screen, tap on the iCloud Drive icon. This will start syncing your files, which may take some time depending on the number and size of the files. If you have a cluttered desktop or documents folder with a huge quantity of files, it may take some time to get uploaded.

Step 3: Access Your Files Remotely

Open your iPhone or iPad and access your iCloud Drive account. You can now not only access your desktop but also the Documents folder. This is really handy when you need to access your MacBook remotely. With macOS Sierra, Apple has made things even simpler by allowing you to access your files from anywhere.

It's worth noting that in order for these steps to work, you will need your Mac/ MacBook running on macOS Sierra as well as an iCloud account. Additionally, you can also use Back to my Mac service within the cloud or log in remotely and access your Mac via Secure shell.

By following these simple steps, you can easily access your MacBook Desktop from any device. We would recommend that you take some time to streamline your desktop and folders in order to make this function efficient and effective.
