I am by no means an expert on the cloud pod, but I have been working with it the past couple days.
I would say in your case no, it wouldn't be of use unless you plugged into a wired network.
The main benefit IMHO is to turn one or two SSDs into shareable network storage to work on the same project simultaneously. Over my 10 gig network switch, I get about 3-3.5 gpbs because it has to interface over an older USB protocol.
This is still much better than a gig connection though and seems to be a good solution for 2-3 person teams.
I think the benefit of the cloud pod over just using the desktop app is the control of proxy-only uploads/downloads. With proxy only turned on, you can have it ignore sending/receiving big camera originals. I would love a 3mpbs proxy option though to cut files size down further.
