The Twonky Media Server is what is known as a DLNA media server. It allows DLNA clients found in numerous devices like smart TV’s, media streaming devices, and mobile apps to stream supported media (music, video, pictures) from the My Cloud device. If you do not want or need to use it you can disable it via the My Cloud Dashboard > Settings. Also turn off Media Serving on any Shares as well that you don’t want to be scanned by Twonky.

See the My Cloud User Manual for more information on how to stream media from the My Cloud.
