Transferring saves & Mods from PC to MAC

Hi,

I recently got a MacBook and would like to figure out an easy way to transfer my Mods and saves from my PC to my Mac and back and forth. I play the same two save files a lot so I need a simple way to play on both devices (I play on my PC when I'm at home and my MacBook when I'm away).

I tried transferring it on a USB but it took like 5 hours to get the Mods on the USB key (My MacBook and PC are pretty powerful so maybe the issue is the USB key (?))

Anyway, I was hoping maybe someone knew of an easier or quicker way to transfer stuff back and forth. I have a lot of mods!

I apologize if this is the wrong section of the forum to ask this question, I wasn't quite sure where to ask!

Thank you so much !!

    @night0ceans  It sounds like the USB might be very slow, and a faster drive would help.  But your mods only need to be transferred once; after that, I'd suggest just downloading new ones you want to use on both devices at the same time (after testing them, of course).  For saves, which are much smaller, the USB might be fine, especially since you might only transfer the one or two saves you're currently playing at any given time.

    If you're not happy with the USB, use Google Drive or some other free filesharing service.  Zip the files you want to move, upload them, and download them on the other device.
