Upgrading from pi 3b to pi 4 (alien.top)

I use owncloud and plex to host my own file server. I'm thinking of moving my work files and photos etc from Google cloud, to my own hosted server now. However, whenever I transfer files to the pi via owncloud, it is incredibly slow on my pi 3b.

I wanted to ask, will the data transfer speed be noticeably faster if I upgrade to a pi 4?

Possibly

The bus on the pi 3 is shared between USB and ethernet, so it may be bogged down by that if you're using an external HDD or something as storage because the USB and ethernet would fight for bandwidth.

The pi 4 has dedicated buses for ethernet and USB separately from each other.
