I got my 15" MacBook back from keyboard replacement. Now I need to copy files from my 13" backup to the 15". I have a folder with the files I need. How do I copy the folder to the other computer?

[AirDrop](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/send-files-between-devices-with-airdrop-mh35868/mac), [File Sharing](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/set-up-file-sharing-on-mac-mh17131/mac), Drop Box (or similar), thumb drive, print everything out and type it back in again…
It all depends what you’re comfortable with. The first two are probably the easiest if both Macs are up-to-date.
