Sync documents between Mac and iPhone

Hi guys, is it possible to sync documents and folders from my Mac (El Capitan) to my iPhone (iOS 13) via the Files app so that if I make any amendments to a particular document or create new documents on the Mac it automatically syncs to my iPhone?

I have a folder stored on the HD of my Mac which has a mix of Word and Excel documents, which I would like to automatically sync over rather than me have to drag and drop overtime I make an amendment.

I checked this page on Apple's site, but it doesn't work for me https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT206985

iPhone 11, iOS 13

But basically, you can only do this by upgrading your version of macOS.

Yes, OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan is the latest you can run on that Mac. You might be able to turn on iCloud Drive and store your files that; I suspect that iOS can access files in that folder via the Files app. But I'm not sure.
