About This Feature
Overview
Share File is a sharing feature in WPS Office for iOS spreadsheets. It is used to send the current spreadsheet as an original file so the recipient can keep the file format and continue working with the content more easily.
Core tasks include:
- Start Share File from the Share entry inside an open spreadsheet.
- Start Share File directly from the document list on the WPS home page.
