+Hi, I tried with several git annex versions, on 3 different clients, and using 2 different remotes (an home server and box.com) and trying out different remotes setups but I've been unable to get git annex working as I expected.
+
+
+I used the assistant for setup, I can sync files between clients just fine if they're connected at the same time, but if I sync a file from client A to the remotes when client B is off, and then later I turn off client A and power on client B, I've never been able to successfully sync files.
+
+on client B, inside .git/annex/daemon.log there's nothing interesting: just messages like:
+
+```(scanning...) [2014-06-03 14:53:26 CEST] Watcher: Performing startup scan
+
+Already up-to-date.```
+
+`git annex sync` just outputs
+
+`"commit  ok"`
+
+and `git annex list`:

+
+(they're just a bunch of random files I'm using to test it, both clients are called berdario, soloud is the home server (currently down) and the other working remote is box.com)
+
+As you can see the russian wikibooks html file is successfully synced with the remotes, but client B is unable to see it...
+
+I tried to set the remotes as incremental backup, full backup, transfer, client (!?) but none of these settings work.
+
+Is git annex not what I'm looking for? Is it supposed to work only on contemporarily connected clients?
+
+Thanks
