Network speed (lemmy.ca)

Hi, just wondering if someone has any thoughts why transfers over my home network are on the slow side.

I originally thought the network was slow as had a raspberry pi acting as a network share for a while. It's now been removed and writing / switch replaced but b it's not really improved the speed.

I've got 1gb Ports and cableing on my router and switch, 1 x mycloud 5tb, and dell wyse 5070 windows 10 system with a 256gb m2 drive running 24/7.

When using my laptop via wifi to move a files from wyse to mycloud it's about 28meg / samba share.

Yet when I moving find via my mobile using a samba client and again move from wyse to mycloud it's always around 8meg.

It almost seems the file gets transferred by samba to the phone / laptop first then sent to mycloud. Surely samba would get wyse and mycloud taking and transfer direct to each other?

Thanks

I don't see why wise and mycloud would connect like that without significant integration effort. It's slow because your phone is slow. If you want it to be faster you could install the mycloud client on the server that has the share and upload the content directly from there.
