About This Feature
Overview
Send To is a cross-device document handoff feature in WPS Office for iOS. It is designed for people who start working on a file on iPhone or iPad and want to continue on another signed-in device such as a desktop computer.
Its main capabilities include:
- Syncing a document through WPS Cloud Documents so you can open and edit it on another device signed in to the same account.
- Using the Send To entry point in the current document to send the file directly to another signed-in device.
- Checking transfer records to confirm whether the document has been delivered.
This feature fits mobile editing, desktop follow-up work, and personal cross-device document handoff. It helps reduce repeated exporting and file searching when you move between devices.
