What I want is the equivalent of MS Skydrive.I want a folder on my IMac thats also on my MBP that I choose what files are in it, work on a file on my IMac and finish it later on my MBP. Don't care if its a cloud based thing like skydrive or somehow set up just between my two Macs. Help!
Got a tip for us?

Dropbox can do that, you have 2 GB of free space and can up it to at least 5 GB with an iDevice and camera uploads (which you can delete after uploading, you will still have 5 GB of Dropbox capacity).
If you need more, look at ChronoSync or if you have Mac OS X 10.7 Lion or OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion on both Macs, try iCloud.

Thanks guys, I will look at drop box but first a follow up ?, IMac has Mt
Lion & MBP has Lion, how would I set up and use ICloud to do what I'm wanting? Easily? No large files, just Word and Excel docs that I want to work on with both computers at different times.
iCloud will work just the same on Lion and Mountain Lion. Just sign into both with your Apple ID and you're all set.
SandboxGeneral, if you know of a way to store word and excel files on iCloud, please tell us.
