Rationale
Beyond Compare is primarily a file comparison, merging, and synchronization tool. While it offers synchronization with cloud storage and local files, it lacks the core AI-powered features of Dynbox, such as AI file chat, semantic search, and automated sorting rules based on AI interpretation. Its focus is on identifying and reconciling differences between files and folders, not intelligent organization.
