About This Feature
Overview
Send to Computer is a cross-device document handoff feature in WPS Office for Android. It helps you move from mobile editing to desktop editing more smoothly. You can either save the file to WPS Cloud Documents and open it on your computer, or use Edit on PC in reading mode to send the current file to a selected computer.
This feature is useful when you want to continue work across devices in WPS Office, especially after reviewing or making quick edits on your phone. Key benefits include:
- Continue editing on a larger screen after working on a document on Android.
- Use the same WPS account to move a document between Android and desktop.
- Check transfer status in Transfer History after you send a file.

| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports saving a document to WPS Cloud Documents for continued editing on a computer, and also supports sending the current file from Android reading mode to a computer signed in with the same account. | Microsoft highlights continuously updated apps and services across devices through Microsoft 365, which fits users working inside the Microsoft ecosystem. | Google Docs keeps edits and comments in sync across phone, tablet, and web browser, which fits online collaboration workflows. | Notion mobile lets users read, edit, and comment on content across devices, with some actions still handled on desktop or in a browser. | Adobe Acrobat focuses on accessing and syncing PDF files across devices, especially for viewing, sharing, and PDF workflows. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: Android includes an Edit on PC entry for direct document handoff; Distinct: both cloud sync and direct sending are available for the same workflow. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft emphasizes cross-device app access and subscription services, but the cited page does not describe a direct send-this-document-to-PC entry for the current file. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs is more centered on live online sync; for sending the current file from Android into a desktop editing flow, WPS provides a more direct path. | Compared with WPS: Notion is more focused on page-based collaboration, and its mobile help page notes that some actions still require desktop or browser access. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is more focused on PDF access and sharing across devices; for office documents that need to move from phone to desktop editing, WPS is closer to that workflow. |
