Additional context
Is the cloud project option the only way to share between users?
I have the same issue. Aside from having the security token on the other computer you have to change all the references (paths) to new locations of images. Those are in the project file and in all asset files. This is because absolute paths are used in the tool when using the local file system. The best solution I came up with is to write a script, which finds all the paths and changes them to current path. Source and target connections still have to be created on this another computer. The only side effect I observed so far is that same images on the other computer are treated as not visited so if you scroll past the last annotated image you will get duplicate assets (maybe the path is also incorporated into asset ID somehow) created.
