Common questions about Save and Save As on Android usually involve storage space, first-time save settings, and cloud saving; this section includes 3 FAQs and a glossary.
FAQ
What should I do if I see an insufficient storage message when saving?
- Check whether your phone has enough local storage space and remove files you no longer need.
- If local storage is limited, save the document to WPS Cloud Docs instead.
- You can also choose another added cloud storage location from the Save As screen.
Why do I need to choose a path, file name, and format the first time I save?
- A newly created document does not have a fixed save location before the first save.
- Choosing a path tells the app where the file should be stored, such as local or cloud storage.
- After the file name and format are set, you can use Save later to update the same document more quickly.
Are documents edited online saved automatically?
- Documents edited online are saved automatically to the cloud.
- If you want to keep an extra copy, use Save As to store it in another location.
- If the network is unstable, confirm the cloud save status before leaving the document.
