Create a “Saved Games” folder on your drive.
Download and install the desktop client app for a service like Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, Nextcloud, etc… on all systems.
With a little bit of upfront work there is a way to essentially set up cloud saves for all of your games across all of your computers, cross-platform. Can’t they just sync? Steam Cloud is nice, but not all games support it, support it cross-platform or happen to be Steam games at all, requiring you to transfer them manually.* Not fun. I’ve always found transferring saved games between computers to be a nuisance-especially across different systems-continuing a game on one from the other is…trouble.
