Hi there,
I’m not sure of what you mean exactly, but I guess that the problem is, when you create a new file on the NAS, the auto-tagging rule isn’t triggered?
If that’s the case, this most likely depends on the file system of the NAS: in order for an auto-tagging rule to be triggered, Windows needs to receive a message that a new file has been created, using a technology called FileSystemWatcher. This works only on the file systems that Windows can handle (NTFS and FAT/FAT32). If you’re using an EXT file system on your NAS (very likely as it’s a Linux box), the FileSystemWatcher won’t get messages, as far as I know.
An easy solution would be converting that disk to NTFS (you can do it with several tools).
If I didn’t understand your question, so please elaborate a bite more 🙂
