Link the two computers to the identical network and create a shared folder on one of them, ensuring write access so files can be copied and pasted easily.

I'd prefer to create a synchronized folder. Syncthing is a great option—it's free and open-source. https://syncthing.net/

The folder's share name becomes "$secret", it won't appear under Network on other machines. Access requires the host account's username and password.
