About This Feature
Overview
Share File is a sharing option in WPS Office for Android spreadsheets. It sends the current spreadsheet as an original file so the recipient can keep the file format, layout, and editing capability.
Core capabilities include:
- Send the current spreadsheet as a file for direct delivery.
- Compare file sharing with link sharing and long image sharing before sending.
- Choose a more suitable format and delivery method for the recipient's scenario.
Typical scenarios: work reports, homework submission, and cross-app file delivery.
It helps when you need to preserve spreadsheet formatting and let the recipient continue editing.
Distinct points: the file-sharing entry is directly available in the share menu, and multiple sharing methods can be compared in one flow.
