Syncing a list of RECENT and PINNED files across computers

Hi,

Just for clarity - I have an idea what's going on.

I have a work desktop and a work laptop signed into the same Office account. I thought this would mean my RECENT and PINNED list within Excel would produce the same results. But they're not - they are pulling up different filenames. My work desktop is pulling up the files I most-recently accessed on the desktop. And my work laptop is pulling up the files I most-recently accessed on the laptop. So it makes it very hard to continue working on the same file(s) when I move from my work locaiton to home location.

I thought a sync feature was in-effect. I thought I could work from home on the laptop, save the Excel file; thus, placing it into Excel's RECENT files list. I would then find the same recent files list on my desktop. This is not the case.

I've been saving them on our company's network drive, which is accessible on he laptop via VPN. Do I need to save the file in a different location?

Thanks.
