About This Feature
Overview
Share by File is a sharing feature in WPS Office for iOS Slides. It lets you send the current presentation or a presentation file from the WPS home page directly to another app or recipient. It works well when the recipient needs an editable presentation file because the file format is kept during sharing.
Core tasks include:
- Open a presentation, tap Share, and choose Share by File to send the current file while viewing it.
- Start Share by File from the WPS home page document list for a faster way to send recent or local files.
This WPS Office workflow is useful for team collaboration, email delivery, and sending editable presentation files through chat apps. It helps reduce extra export steps and gives recipients a presentation file they can continue editing.

| Capability Summary | In WPS on iOS, you can share a presentation file from an open presentation or from the home page document list, which is useful when you want to send an editable presentation file. | PowerPoint officially supports inviting people, sharing links, and sending a presentation as an email attachment. Some share-a-copy scenarios are tied to a Microsoft 365 subscription. | Google Drive on iPhone and iPad supports sharing a file with recipients or copying a link, and Google Slides supports PPT and PPTX files. | Notion focuses more on page sharing and export. On mobile, pages can be exported as HTML, Markdown & CSV, or PDF, then sent through the device share menu. | Acrobat mobile supports direct invites, link sharing, Send a copy, and AirDrop, which fits PDF sharing and review workflows. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: direct file-based sharing for presentation files on iOS. Distinct: the shared file stays in a presentation format that recipients can continue editing. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft puts more emphasis on cloud collaboration and link sharing. Email attachment sending is documented, but some copy-sharing workflows require a subscription. | Compared with WPS: Google relies more on the Drive and Slides permission model. It works well for link-based collaboration, but direct presentation-file sending is spread across multiple apps. | Compared with WPS: Notion often requires export before sharing a file, so presentation-file sharing is less direct. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is centered on PDF review and sharing rather than presentation-file collaboration. |

Overall Conclusion
If you need to send a presentation as a file on iOS, WPS provides a more direct path from both the open file view and the home page list. Other products are stronger in link collaboration, page export, or PDF review, depending on the workflow you need.
