Hi! Thanks for your time, and please let me know if this is an rclone special remote-specific question that I should be asking elsewhere.

I very likely may be fundamentally misconfiguring something since I'm a git-annex beginner (although a git veteran)

I'm trying to make a system to sync Ableton projects and their corresponding samples between my band's computers.

So far I have Computer A with a repo and git annex with the local file contents.

From here, I've pushed the repository itself to github and the contents to an rclone special remote hosted on pCloud.

% git annex list
here
|github
||web
|||bittorrent
||||pcloud_test_annex
|||||
X___X Samples/Recorded/1-Audio 0001 [2021-12-08 093649].aif

...


% git remote -v
github  git@github.com:branch-pcloud.git (fetch)
github  git@github.com:branch-pcloud.git (push)
pcloud_test_annex

On computer B, I tried to clone the github repo and pull the pCloud data down, but I can't manage to get it to work.

$ git annex get 'Samples/Recorded/1-Audio 0001 [2021-12-08 093649].aif'
get Samples/Recorded/1-Audio 0001 [2021-12-08 093649].aif (not available)
  Maybe enable some of these special remotes (git annex initremote ...):
        e7e3e2b7-40e7-4b10-83f6-bb5425f33d6d -- pcloud_test_annex
  Maybe add some of these git remotes (git remote add ...):
        bab5704a-562e-43eb-8bbb-71f181f043e8 -- bl@compy_A:~/test_project

  (Note that these git remotes have annex-ignore set: origin)
failed
get: 1 failed

Okay, well github (origin) won't have it, so I'll try to enable the special remote:

$ git annex enableremote pcloud_test_annex
enableremote pcloud_test_annex ok
(recording state in git...)

But it doesn't help. I get the same error afterwards.

Here's something that's probably bad: on computer B, there's a whole lot of git annex remotes:

$ git annex info

After some investigation, one of these is actually the right one (I think)!

$ git annex info e7e3e2b7-40e7-4b10-83f6-bb5425f33d6d

remote annex size: 688.91 megabytes

But I can't figure out how to configure computer B's repository to access it:

$ git annex info e7e3e2b7-40e7-4b10-83f6-bb5425f33d6d
uuid: e7e3e2b7-40e7-4b10-83f6-bb5425f33d6d
description: pcloud_test_annex
trust: semitrusted
remote annex keys: 18
remote annex size: 688.91 megabytes

How can I get other computers to pull the contents from pCloud (rclone)?
