Lightroom Version Number
Lightroom Classic CC 7.3.latest via CC app.
Operating System

How do I get Lightroom Classic CC synced with all the same presets, etc. running on two machines?
One is iMAC for editing in office. Other is 15" MBP from location and travel

Thanks,

copy and paste the presets, and I also suggest the profiles, from one computer file system to the other. You are the synch mechanism.

Maybe from wrong place?

You can use something like goodsync and it is pretty painless. Just be sure you have the job set up like you want and have it run when you aren't likely to be using the catalog. It has several options that you may find useful. You will need to have the computers on the same network of course.

Yes, very likely. The develop presets have changed. They are now XMP and they are now in a different place:
user/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/Settings

+1 for GoodSync.

I use it to sync between a desktop and a laptop, both running LR 7.2. I sync the folder containing my catalogs in one job, and LR settings, C:\Users\phil\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom, in another job. This approach means that I have to install/change/delete plug-ins or presets only once.

That means that you are not synching your develop presets any longer if you use 7.3 or higher. Just like on the Mac, these presets have moved from the Lightroom/Develop presets folder to the CameraRaw/Settings folder.
