From what I read, it should be possible to bypass the cloud when these two machines are on the same network, which sounds great. + +Would it be possible to use a portable drive as \"another link\" between these two computers that can be used to sync them even if there is no network between them? + +And as you write, if the pairing has been set up manually, then everything is fine - so could it be that it is really easy and only necessary to setup the git-annex on the local drive as an additional remote on both (or only one?) machine? + +thanks for any insight! +"""]] -- cgit v1.2.3
