Take that setup and add a special remote -- say, a Google Drive remote called `annex-gdrive`. Now both `~/annex` and `/media/usb/annex` know which files are stored on the `annex-gdrive` remote. So we go into `~/annex` and set the maximum usable space for `annex-gdrive` and upload a couple files. Then we can go into `/media/usb/annex`, sync, and it will be able to determine the space still available on `annex-gdrive`, not through any special API but just by looking at the size of the files it knows are stored on that special remote. + +In the case that we create a brand new annex `~/foo` and add a Google Drive special remote to it `foo-gdrive` that happens to use the same Google account as the `annex-gdrive` remote from the previous annex, I would not expect that new annex to know about the storage used for `annex-gdrive`. That would need some sort of special API from the provider. + +I just want the annex `~/annex` to know about the storage used at `annex-gdrive` and the annex `~/foo` to know about the storage used at `foo-gdrive`. + +Hope that makes sense! +"""]] |
