About This Feature
Overview
Sending Files in WPS on Android lets you share the current Writer document as a file. After you choose this option, the document can be sent in its original file format, such as .docx, or as an online cloud document, depending on the sharing target.
This feature is useful when you need to share a Word-style document on mobile without changing the basic file format. Core tasks include:
- Open the Share menu from the top of the document and choose Send File.
- Send a file directly from the WPS home document list.
- Compare file, link, and image sharing options before you send the document.
Common use cases include sending editable drafts to coworkers, forwarding documents through email or messaging apps, and completing mobile document sharing in WPS Office.

| Capability Summary | WPS on Android can send a Writer document as a file and supports multiple targets such as WPS collaboration, messaging apps, and email. It also distinguishes between file, link, and image sharing methods. | Word lets you use Share to send a document, enter recipients, adjust permissions, and send a link. Saving to OneDrive may be required before sharing. | Google Drive and Google Docs on Android let you share files and assign Viewer, Commenter, or Editor permissions. | Notion lets you copy a page link, invite people, and set access levels such as view, comment, or edit. | Acrobat lets you share PDFs by invitation, link, third-party apps, or email, with view or comment access controls. |
| Official Source | — | Share a document | Share files from Google Drive - Android | Share your work | Share links to PDFs |
Advantage: WPS is focused on mobile file sending and provides both an in-document entry and a home-list entry, while also separating file, link, and image sharing choices.
Overall Conclusion
WPS is a practical choice when you want to send a document file quickly from an Android device. If your workflow depends more on permission-heavy cloud collaboration, public page sharing, or PDF review, Microsoft, Google, Notion, and Adobe each provide different sharing models.
