As I said in a previous post, I saet up a wifi system for my second computer (Computer B). It can access files on my main computer (Computer A).
I have an Internet account that allows me 25 GB a month.
If I transfer music files from Computer A to Computer B via wifi will that count against my monthly usage?
It doesn’t worry me as I never go close but I am curious.

No, a network between your two computers doesn’t use the internet to transfer data. As long as it is a local network of course, not one computer at home and the other at a different location - work, for instance.

Thanks. The other computer is in another room under the house.
