I am trying to sync iMac and MacBook Air.
I can find the Mobile Documents file on the iMac but not on the MacBook Air.
Is there a different approach for the MacBook?

I am running 10.7.4. i can find a library folder that has mobile documents in it but, i can not fine ~/library/. so i made and alias of the mobile document folder and dragged it the desk top. Also did this on my macbook running 10.7.4. iCloud is up running and syncing calendars just fine. Put a file in the alias folder and nothing. What am i doing wrong?
