You're exploring ways to unify your work and personal devices. Since you're already using Dropbox for personal files, consider syncing your iMac and MacBook via cloud storage or external drives. Time Machine could help back up data, but it might not be the most efficient method for transferring large files. A direct transfer to a central location on your hard drive or a network share would likely be smoother.

Consider linking a NAS device to your network for shared access across multiple machines.

Setting up a NAS at home allows you to reach its files remotely, similar to accessing a laptop on another network in the office.

To connect your NAS from outside your home network, you need to configure a DHCP reservation and forward the device via your router. The specific steps depend on the model you purchase or the hardware you assemble.

This relies on the network setup. For instance, Synology offers QuickConnect that simplifies connection—just type the URL in your browser and access it from any location.
