Mac

You can sync the SharePoint documents on your Mac, but this is actually syncing with your OneDrive folder. If you do this and you have more than one SharePoint site to sync, you will need to make sure you aren’t syncing folders with the same names or it will keep wanting to write over the folder. You could have a channel in each Team that has the course info and sync that channel folder with the Recording folder.
