@ Bennor… I do not understand what you keep saying about the network adapter that is connected to the cell phone hotspot… there is no network adapter… the cell phone has a function called tethering & networks… you turn on the “hotspot” function and set a password, allowed number of connections, & whether or not you want it to timeout.
The My Cloud is a network attached storage device (NAS). To access the My Cloud you generally must have the My Cloud connected to a computer, router (wifi), switch or hub using an Ethernet cable. Does your cell phone hotspot have a Ethernet network port? No? Then you will have to connect the My Cloud to something else. Now from your first post you stated the following…

My tv sees my desktop computer when it is connected to the hotspot but even if I connect the My Cloud to my computer with an Ethernet cable the tv doesn’t see the movies on it.
You have indicated you connected your My Cloud to your computer. If that computer has both a Ethernet networking port and a WiFi connection to your cellphone hotspot you can enable Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on the WiFi connection (that is connected to your cellphone hotspot). Once enabled it will bridge the WiFi connection to the Ethernet network connection the My Cloud is connected to allowing for traffic to pass from the WiFi connection to the My Cloud.
The links I posted above explain what ICS is and how to activate it on Windows.

If you don’t want to use ICS, or your computer doesn’t have two network ports (Ethernet and WiFi), then you will have to find another method of connecting the My Cloud using Ethernet to the cellular hotspot. The most common way would be to use a WiFi Bridge either like the one mentioned above or using a WiFi router that supports being configured as a WiFi Ethernet Bridge.
The bottom line is you have to find a way to connect the My Cloud’s Ethernet networking port to a device that connects to the WiFi cellphone hotspot since the My Cloud DOES NOT have, or support, WiFi itself.
