About This Feature
Overview
Send to Computer helps you move a WPS Writer document from iOS to your computer so you can continue editing the same file across devices in WPS Office.
Core tasks include:
- Sync through WPS Cloud: save the document to WPS Cloud, then sign in with the same account on your computer to open and continue editing it.
- Use the Send to option: choose another device already signed in with the current account on iOS, send the document directly, and check the transfer status in Transfer Records.
This feature is useful when you revise a file on your phone and continue layout work on a computer, when you handle a document while away from your desk, or when you need a quick way to send a document from iPhone to computer.

| Capability Summary | WPS lets you send a Writer document from iOS to a computer through WPS Cloud sync or the Send to device option, and you can review status in Transfer Records. | Microsoft uses OneDrive and Word mobile so users can access cloud files on different devices, edit documents saved in the cloud, and save changes automatically. | Google Docs lets users view, create, and edit documents on phone, tablet, or computer, and it also supports offline work with later sync. | Notion lets users mark pages as available offline on each device, then sync local changes automatically after reconnecting. | Adobe Acrobat uses Document Cloud so users can access files from anywhere, send links for review, and sync changes across devices. |

Advantage: WPS combines cloud sync and direct device sending in the iOS Writer workflow, which fits users who need to continue the current document on a computer right away.
Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is how to send a document from iPhone to computer inside WPS Office, WPS provides two direct paths: cloud sync and device sending. Other products also support cross-device access or syncing, but their workflows are more centered on their own cloud storage or workspace systems.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable For | Main Pain Point | Solution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Continue layout work on a computer after editing on a phone | Mobile workers | A phone is convenient for quick edits but less suitable for detailed layout work | Save the file to WPS Cloud and open it from Cloud Documents on the computer |
| 2 | Continue writing after returning to the office | Commuting users | The file needs to move between devices without breaking the workflow | Use Send to on iOS to send the file to a signed-in computer |
| 3 | Switch between devices under one account | Individual users | It is inconvenient to keep the current file available across devices | Use same-account device sending or cloud sync |
| 4 | Check whether the transfer is complete | Users who need status confirmation | It may be unclear whether the file has arrived | Review the task in Transfer Records |
| 5 | Keep the document ready for continued editing | Writer users | Users want a smooth handoff from mobile editing to desktop editing | Open the synced file directly on the computer after cloud sync |
