About This Feature
Overview
Share After Compression is a document-sharing feature in WPS Office for iOS. It lets you compress a document into a ZIP package before sending it, which can make file transfer easier through collaboration, WeChat, email, and similar sharing destinations.
Core capabilities include:
- Start Share After Compression directly from the document editing page when you want to send a file while viewing or editing it.
- Start Share After Compression from the WPS home document list when you want to send a file without opening it first.
- Save the compressed result automatically, rename the ZIP package if needed, and then continue to a sharing destination.
This feature is useful when you need to send image-heavy documents, forward files quickly on mobile, or reduce transfer burden in on-the-go work scenarios.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On iOS, WPS provides a Share After Compression flow from both the document page and the home document list. After compression, the file is saved automatically and can be sent to collaboration, WeChat, email, and similar destinations. | Microsoft 365 focuses on cloud sharing, link sharing, and sending a copy. Official guidance highlights Share and Send a Copy, but it does not describe a built-in “compress before share” flow inside the document on iOS. | Google Drive focuses on permission-based sharing, link sharing, and download control. Official guidance explains how to share files from Drive, but it does not describe a built-in document flow that compresses a file before sharing it. | Notion officially supports exporting content, and some export results are delivered as ZIP files. This is mainly an export and backup workflow rather than an in-document mobile flow for immediate compressed sharing. | Adobe Acrobat officially supports compressing PDFs and then downloading or sharing them. This is useful for PDF size reduction, but the workflow is centered on PDFs rather than general office documents shared from an editing page. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS combines compression, automatic saving, and follow-up sharing in one flow. Distinct: It provides two entry points, which fit both in-document sending and quick sending from the home list. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft emphasizes link sharing and sending copies. ZIP compression is typically handled through system tools or a separate workflow. | Compared with WPS: Google is stronger for cloud permission sharing, while the official guidance does not show a built-in compress-then-share document flow. | Compared with WPS: Notion is more oriented to export and archive scenarios. ZIP output is tied to export results rather than immediate sharing. | Compared with WPS: Adobe provides clearer PDF compression guidance, but its scope is centered on PDFs instead of general document compression and sharing from the same editing flow. |

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to compress a document and send it right away on iOS, WPS offers a more direct mobile workflow. Microsoft and Google focus more on link-based collaboration, Notion focuses more on export, and Adobe focuses more on PDF compression.
