+`git annex sync` only syncs the git repository, not file contents, and the special remote has no git repo, only file contents. `git annex copy` will avoid transferring things that are already there, so it's the way to go.
+
+If you want automatic syncing of file contents and lots of other magic including automatic commit of new files, you could try the [[assistant]].

+OK;  The reason i ask about `git annex sync` is because I had previously copied the large files onto `smb://` before setting up the `annex` and don't want to unnecessarily transfer large data over Internet again.  But now if i do `git annex copy --to smb`, and check what's added/changed in `smb` end, i found 
+ 
+    $ cd /Volumes/subproject
+    $ ls
+    091		383		bigdir1    bigfile1  ...
+
+The files with numbers in names such as`091`, `383` are being added, the `bigfile1` and `bigdir1` are the ones previously copied there.  What are those `091`, `383` etc.

+That's where it stores files in the directory special remote. You can move the similar contents of /Volumes/subproject/.git/annex/objects/ to the same place as those and then run `git annex fsck --from smb --fast` and it'll learn about those files you already transferred.
+
+You probably also want to delete /Volumes/subproject/.git afterwards, and any git working tree that was checked out there before; the directory special remote does not use the git repository that you had there before.

+Oh,  I see.   But what I need on the remote partition `/Volumes/subproject` connected via `smb://` is the actual `bigdir1` and `bigfile`, not the encoded objects.  Maybe I should use some other types of special remote?
