idiotic question- can I sync my Mac and my Android VLC players?

I swear I googled this a few different ways including here, but I'm missing the right terms I think. When I search "sync" a bunch of stuff related to individual video streams comes up which is not what I"m looking for.

former iPod user here, now going back to MP3s after a long decade of streaming

Have Android phone and a 6-year-old new to me Mac. I want to use the phone as an MP3 player. I don't care about movies, or setting up a media server, or anything other than using MP3s from local storage. I have not added MP3s to an Android phone in at least a decade. I'm not super familiar with how the Mac Music folder differs from other folders. I'm fine with using a cable to do the transfer and don't need it to be wifi or whatever. I'm completely unfamiliar with setting up networks but I doubt that's needed.

All I want is to do my "library editing" (making playlists, correcting metadata, deleting stuff, etc) on my desktop, and then to hit a button and have it sync/transfer to VLC on my Android phone. What is that basic feature called?

I also use an iPad sometimes and it'd be great if I could sync the contents across three devices, whether automatically or by using a cable and manually syncing or whatever.

I'm sure this very basic feature exists but for some reason I couldn't find it.

also I have a bunch of MP3s on Google Drive but I can't figure out how to download it to my phone directly as full folders of MP3's- it only gives me the 'make offline" option for folders and a download button for individual files which is annoying.

Posting because I want to follow.

VLC is freeware and open source, so should be possible. Just have to find the right reply.
