I did not recieve feedback on my comment [1], so I try to post my question again but more clearly.
Is it possible to run the assistent/the webapp without the functionality of 'git annex watch'?
I'd like to use the assistant and to have the automatic syncing but I do not want the local repository to be watched. Instead I prefer to manually add/drop my files.
I do not see the 'pause button' mentioned in my earlier question [1].

The assistant is currently only able to transfer files that it has added itself. So if you disable syncing, you have to manually upload any files you add.
I doubt that I will change this in the assistant, because supporting this use case would complicate it unnecessarily for a use case that is not what it's designed to do. It's more likely that
git annex syncwill get an option to also transfer file contents.Thanks for the clarification.
Although
Anyway, thanks for this great piece of software.
