About This Feature
Overview
Share After Compression lets you compress a document first and then send the compressed package from WPS Writer on Android. This workflow is useful when you want to reduce file size before sharing a document through common mobile sharing targets.
Key capabilities include:
- Start from an open document and choose Share > Share After Compression.
- Start from the WPS home document list and choose Share > Share After Compression.
- Compress the file with Compress Now, then let the app save it automatically.
- Rename the compressed package if needed.
- Tap More to continue sharing through targets such as WPS Collaboration, WeChat, or email.
This feature fits mobile document sharing, large file transfer, and quick forwarding from an Android device.
