|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On Android, WPS lets you open Document Info to view the file name, size, location, creation time, modified time, and author. | Microsoft Office provides document properties and metadata viewing and editing, commonly through File > Info in desktop apps. | Google Docs focuses on online editing and Google Drive file details, including created date and activity details, with a workflow centered on Drive rather than an in-document local properties panel. | Notion properties mainly describe database pages with fields such as status, date, tags, created time, and last edited time. | Adobe Acrobat provides PDF document properties and metadata, including description, security, fonts, initial view, and custom properties. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: It provides a short path on Android for checking common document details inside the current file view, which is practical for quick mobile review. | Compared with WPS: Official guidance focuses more on desktop property viewing and editing, so the workflow is less centered on a lightweight Android in-document check. | Compared with WPS: The official workflow is more tied to Google Drive and online collaboration, so file details are presented differently from a mobile office document info panel. | Compared with WPS: Properties are designed mainly for database and page management rather than traditional document file properties. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat offers deeper PDF metadata categories, but its scope is centered on PDF management rather than a lightweight general document info check. |

Overall Conclusion: If you need to check basic file details quickly on Android, WPS offers a direct path inside the current document view. The other products also provide file details or property systems, but they focus more on desktop workflows, cloud collaboration, database-style page management, or PDF metadata.
