does kies air use wifi data? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am using kies air to transfer big files and i wondered
if it is actually using the internet connection data.
Or it just uses the wifi signal and does not use any internet data.
how does it work?

kies air will only use your local network between your pc, your phone and your wi-fi router. it will never use the internet. it is basically the same as a shared folder on a pc in your local network, it can be accessed through a wired or wireless connection, but does not go through the internet without the corresponding port forwarding to your public ip address. same thing goes for kies air, it will show your phone's local ip in your network, i.e. 192.168.x.x and since that is not public it would not even work through the internet.
the difference to wi-fi direct is that with kies air, you are using a wireless access point and wi-fi direct opens up an ad-hoc network and is not directly meant for file exchange.
these are the very basics of networking. it is all obvious and technically has nothing to do with the phone specifically or kies air, it is just basic logic.
