| Capability Summary | Lets you share the current spreadsheet as an original file on Android, keeping formats such as .xlsx and .xls, and distinguishing file sharing from link sharing in the same flow. | Microsoft Word sharing guidance focuses on cloud-based sharing and collaboration. Its official flow centers on Share and OneDrive, and on some platforms it also supports sending a copy. | Google Workspace highlights secure file sharing across Drive, Gmail, and Chat, with view, comment, and edit permissions for internal and external sharing. | Notion focuses on sharing pages, inviting people, copying links, and publishing pages to the web with permission controls. | Adobe Acrobat focuses on sharing PDF links for viewing or commenting across devices. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: more direct for sending the original spreadsheet file from the Android app. Distinct: file sharing and link sharing are separated clearly in one share flow. | Compared with WPS: the official workflow is more centered on cloud storage and shared links, often requiring OneDrive in the main sharing path. | Compared with WPS: Google emphasizes cloud permissions and workspace-based sharing, while WPS is more direct for sending the original spreadsheet file itself. | Compared with WPS: Notion is stronger for page collaboration and web publishing, but it is not centered on sending editable spreadsheet files in .xlsx or .xls format. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is oriented to PDF sharing and review, so it is less aligned with editable spreadsheet file delivery. |
