About This Feature
Overview
Document Information is a built-in file details feature in WPS Office for Android. It helps you quickly review the current file name, file size, file type, and storage location.
Core tasks include:
- Check the file name and file type to confirm which document is open.
- Check the file size to estimate storage use and sync impact.
- Check the storage location to tell whether the file is saved locally or in the cloud.
This feature is useful when you want to confirm the current file, review where it is stored, or check whether the file size is suitable for sharing or syncing.

| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Lets you view the current file name, size, type, and location in an opened document on Android. | Microsoft Office supports viewing and editing document properties such as title, author, subject, keywords, and automatically updated properties like file size. | Google Docs product pages focus on online collaboration, comments, version history, and permissions, with less emphasis on a dedicated file-properties view. | Notion uses database properties to show page information, including text, date, person, file, created time, and last edited time fields. | Adobe Acrobat supports PDF document properties and metadata, including title, author, subject, keywords, security settings, and additional metadata. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: a direct mobile entry for quickly checking current file details. Distinct: focuses on everyday file basics such as name, size, type, and location. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft provides a broader metadata model and desktop-style property editing, while public guidance is less focused on a quick mobile file-basics view. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs emphasizes collaboration and online editing, and its public product page does not center on a lightweight file-details panel for a single document. | Compared with WPS: Notion properties are designed more for structured database organization than for a lightweight file-information entry in office documents. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses more on PDF metadata and security management, so the scope is more specific to PDF workflows. |

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to quickly confirm a document’s name, size, type, and location on an Android device, WPS offers a straightforward workflow for that task. If you need deeper metadata editing, database-style property management, or PDF-focused metadata and security controls, Microsoft, Notion, or Adobe may fit those scenarios better.
