+hi
+
+is it possible to have multiple repositories that share single backup directory ?
+
+for example.
+i have mp3, docs on my laptop as separate repositories. i would like to use single backup directory that is on my usb drive.

+If you set up an identically configured special remote in the same location for each of your separate mp3 and docs repositories, then yes, you can store files for both of them in it. In the unlikely case where you have the same file in both mp3 and docs, only one copy will be stored in the remote. (Unless it's using encryption, which will tend to defeat that.)
+
+It should work ok, but unless you're trying to get deduplication like that, I don't see any reason to do it rather than having a separate special remote for each of the separate git repositories.
+
+(Also, I'm talking about special remotes here, not git remotes. If you add the same git remote to 2 separate repositories, then `git annex sync` will connect them all together.)

+Such S3 clones are supported if you make the repository at the command line. See [[S3_special_remote_documentation|special_remotes/S3]].
+
+I think the question comes down to, is it worth adding UI in the webapp for this, or is it likely that someone who is using a S3 clone knows the endpoint url to use? Similarly, the webapp only offers box.com as a WebDAV remote, although there are many other DAV servers. What I'm trying to do with the UI is guide the user through finding a place to store their data, and covering every step as easily as possible.
