<div>But it is noted in the documenation is that local filesystems are preferred over remote and they will be used until 2 or more recordings are being made simultaneously. That alone is enough to understand that a single recording will *always* land on local storage. The "tie" aspect is inherent in that definition and is only a more detailed explanation (given by the coder in the wiki) for those that care to know why it is preferred and possibly how to adjust it. </div>
