About This Feature
Overview
Share After Compression is a spreadsheet sharing feature in WPS Office for iOS. It lets you compress a spreadsheet into a smaller archive before sending it through collaboration tools, WeChat, email, or other sharing targets.
Core capabilities include:
- Start Share After Compression directly from the spreadsheet editing screen when you are already working in a file.
- Start Share After Compression from the document list on the WPS home screen for saved files.
- Automatically save the file during compression and rename the archive before sending it.
This feature is useful when you need to send larger spreadsheet files, reduce transfer size, or forward files through common mobile sharing channels.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In the iOS spreadsheet workflow, WPS can compress a file first and then continue sharing from inside the app. It supports entry from the editing screen or the home document list. | Microsoft explains ways to handle large attachments by compressing files or sharing cloud links, mainly in the Outlook email workflow. | Google Drive supports direct file sharing with viewer, commenter, and editor permissions, mainly through cloud-based access control. | Notion supports exporting pages as PDF and, on some plans, exporting subpages as a zip file, mainly for export and backup workflows. | Adobe supports compressing PDFs online and also provides document sharing by link, mainly for PDF workflows. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS combines compression, auto-save, archive renaming, and sending in one mobile spreadsheet flow, which fits direct spreadsheet forwarding on iOS. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft documentation focuses more on email attachment limits and cloud-link sharing, and does not describe the same in-app spreadsheet compression-and-share flow. | Compared with WPS: Google focuses more on cloud permission sharing than sending a local compressed archive. | Compared with WPS: Notion focuses more on page export and archive output than immediate spreadsheet sharing from a mobile spreadsheet interface. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses more on PDF compression and sharing than a spreadsheet-specific compress-and-send workflow. |

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to compress a spreadsheet and send it directly on iOS, WPS keeps that workflow more concentrated inside the app. The other products focus more on email attachments, cloud permission sharing, page export, or PDF compression, so their primary use cases are different from direct spreadsheet sharing after compression.
