About This Feature
Overview
Share File is a built-in sharing feature in WPS Office for iOS. It lets you send the current document to other people and choose whether to share it as a file or as a link.
Core capabilities include:
- Share as a file: Send the document as an original online cloud document or a
.docxfile so the recipient can continue viewing or editing it. - Start sharing from an open document: Open the Share option from the top menu bar while the document is open.
- Start sharing from the Home document list: Share a target file directly from the WPS Home page for faster forwarding.
This feature is useful for work handoffs, homework submission, cross-app sending, and document distribution before collaboration starts. It helps reduce repeated export-and-upload steps on mobile devices. An advantage is that you can enter the sharing flow from either the document page or the Home document list.
