OK … so I got this 3TB MyCloud Home device. I figured I could install a Plex server on it directly so I don’t have to have a Plex server running on a laptop or a desktop. That worked fine.
Now … I have an older 2TB Time Capsule that I keep all my media files on and a Mac mini connected to it by ethernet cable. I connected the My Cloud Home device to the Time capsule with another ethernet and started copying data from the TC to the My Cloud … but then noticed that my internet data transfer went through the roof. Does this mean that the transfer/copy is not going through the LAN but are going through the mycloud.com servers on the WAN, even if all the devices are connected together on the same LAN???
Then again does that mean that every time I watch a movie through a Plex server on the MyCloud Home device … it will not be streaming from the device on the LAN but through the WAN??? I am a little bit confused about how this works.
Best regards
