Rationale
Seafile offers file sync and share solutions with features like extensible file properties, flexible file views, and comprehensive cloud storage features. It explicitly mentions 'AI automatically generates file descriptions and extracts key information for you' and 'AI-powered automatic generation of file tags,' which aligns with automated sorting rules and semantic search capabilities. The 'Plus Edition (Cloud)' offers 'AI-Powered Metadata Extraction' which supports semantic search and automated sorting. It also provides granular permission controls, audit logs, and on-premise deployment options, which align with privacy controls and enterprise features. However, there is no explicit mention of 'AI File Chat' or 'feedback-driven refinement' as described in the Dynbox concept.
