The current smart search feature on my DXP2800 NAS is not reliable. I want a natural language search that can understand queries like 'beach trip with friends' without needing exact filenames or folder paths.
I've been running a DXP2800 for a bit and honestly it's been a solid little box. Nothing glamorous, but it's taken a ton of pressure off my laptops/phone: I dump photos, videos, random project folders, tax PDFs, and all the "I'll organize later" stuff onto it and at least I know it's in one place. What I'm curious about is this whole AI NAS direction UGREEN is teasing. My current unit already has a kind of smart search feature, but I barely use it because it's… not that good? If I don't remember the exact filename or the folder path, it often misses what I'm looking for. For photos it's even more hit-or-miss. So I end up doing the old-school thing: folders, dates, and manual habits. Which is why I'm skeptical but also intrigued. If the new AI stuff is actually strong, like reliable natural language search across PDFs, or photo search that understands beach trip with friends without me tagging then that would genuinely change how I use a NAS day to day.
