What I ended up doing, once I got the replacement Mac, was just copying my documents folder to iCloud, and then copying the whole folder to my Mac. It was actually super easy, and now the Mac and iCloud folders are connected, so when I make a change on my Mac, it’s reflected in the cloud. In the end, I was really happy with this solution.
