Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Lets you view the current file name, file size, file type, and file location directly on iOS, which is useful for quick file checks during mobile work. | Microsoft Office supports document properties and metadata such as title, author, subject, keywords, and automatically updated properties like file size. | Google Docs and Drive provide file details and sharing information, with more emphasis on ownership, access, and sharing settings. | Notion organizes page and database properties through layouts and property groups, focusing on structured page information rather than traditional file properties. | Adobe Acrobat provides document properties and metadata tools for PDF files, including property and metadata viewing in Acrobat. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS focuses on quick mobile access to basic file properties such as name, size, type, and location in one place, with no membership requirement for this feature. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft provides broader metadata editing, but its official guidance is centered more on document metadata management than a simple mobile file-info view. | Compared with WPS: Google emphasizes sharing, ownership, and permission details more than a compact file property view for everyday office files. | Compared with WPS: Notion is designed around page and database properties, not around checking file size, file type, or storage path for office documents. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is more focused on PDF property and metadata workflows, while WPS is more direct for checking basic information in everyday office documents on iOS. |

Overall Conclusion
If you mainly need to check a document’s name, size, type, and location on an iPhone or iPad, WPS Document Information is a practical fit for that mobile workflow. Microsoft, Google, Notion, and Adobe also provide official property or detail views, but their focus is more on metadata management, sharing controls, database properties, or PDF-specific workflows.
