Pro
- Much faster search times on file servers (NAS, such as WD My Cloud and other Linux and macOS based servers), as long as they allow ssh access.
- Super fast search on Windows servers if you install the software Everything.
- Search for content with the `grep` tool on the server (requires SSH access).
- Search on servers that run ElasticSearch.
- Concurrent search (perform searching multiple volumes at the same time), for higher performance.
- Cache results for faster searches (not for content, only for file names, dates etc.).
- Combine multiple searches, so that they all run together, and add all items into a single Results window.
- Comparison of items from two Results windows.
Rationale
Find Any File is a macOS application designed for searching files on disks, including local and network volumes. While it offers advanced search capabilities beyond Spotlight, it lacks the core AI-powered features of Dynbox, such as AI file chat, automated sorting rules, and privacy controls related to AI access. It does offer semantic search capabilities by allowing users to search for textual content within files and integrates with cloud storage (network volumes like NAS, Google Drive). However, it is not an AI-powered file organizer.
