Rationale
FileRun is a self-hosted file sync and share solution, similar to Google Drive or Box, but with a focus on privacy and user control. It offers features like file sharing, desktop sync, mobile access, and metadata support. While it provides robust file management and sharing capabilities, it lacks the explicit AI-powered features such as 'AI File Chat' and 'Automated Sorting Rules' that are central to Dynbox's value proposition. It does offer semantic search through metadata indexing and full-text search, and integrates with cloud storage by allowing users to point FileRun to existing file locations. Privacy is a core tenet, and it supports multi-user collaboration, SSO, and centralized billing. The 'Manual Approval Workflow' is inferred from its self-hosted nature and the ability to control all aspects of file management. 'Local File Access' is supported through desktop sync apps and WebDAV. The 'Demo Mode' is explicitly available.
