So... I have a local cloud storage set up and I connect to it through my router.

Due to circumstances, I am unable to mess with the cabling in my house, so my ethernet is capped at 100Mbps. When I'm accessing my storage and using the internet at the same time, sometimes problems occur since the cloud storage will try to use all 100Mbps.

Is there a way to connect to my router with both wifi and ethernet, and have one specifically only be able to connect to my cloud storage, and the other to not be able to do so?

I would recommend moving your NAS so that you can have a local switch which would allow GigE connectivity. Then you could still have 100Mbit to the router from the local switch. The rest of your network would still be able to access the NAS at 100Mbit speeds either wired or wireless. Wireless access won't see a significant difference because the wireless link will be the limiting factor.
