How to set up quicken destop to sync on multiple macs

I have quicken desktop on my home laptop and want to set it up on my work imac. I downloaded the software and logged in with my account but none of my previous information is there. I have the sync turned on in preferences. How do I sync them all together?

Quicken doesn't sync between computers, only the Quicken Cloud. You would need to backup on one Mac and then restore on the other. You would then reverse the process to switch to the other Mac.

You may also want to consider using remote access software (several free options, e.g. NoMachine and Teamviewer) to access Quicken on one computer from the other, or even mobile devices (see this great article for complete review of many options (most are free): http://machow2.com/rdp-for-mac/ ). Though this article was written primarily with Macs in mind, there are many solutions offered that work for Windows too. A trade-off is that the host computer cannot really be used for anything else while using Quicken with these remote solutions.
