About This Feature

Overview

Upload File is a configuration item in the Smart Forms relay workflow in WPS Office for Windows. It is used to collect files submitted by participants in a form. Form creators can open the relay module from the form editor, enter the Upload File settings panel, adjust the related options, and then confirm or save the setup so file collection stays aligned with the form submission flow.

Open the Upload File settings entry in the relay workflow.
Configure and confirm file upload settings.
Check whether the configuration has taken effect after saving.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides an Upload File entry inside the Smart Forms relay workflow, where you can open the editor, configure settings, and save the result.	Microsoft Forms lets authors add a file upload question, set file count limits, single-file size limits, and allowed file types, but this capability is limited to organization response settings.	Google Forms supports file upload questions with controls for file type, file count, and size. Responders must sign in with a Google Account, and uploaded files are stored in the form owner's Google Drive.	Notion Forms lets users create and share forms connected to database properties. Its official forms page documents creation and configuration on desktop and web, but it does not clearly describe a native file upload question flow on that page.	Adobe Acrobat web forms focus on publishing fillable and signable web forms. Authors can upload source files and publish a public form URL, which is closer to signing and web-form publishing workflows.
WPS Advantages	Distinct: The Upload File entry sits directly in the Smart Forms relay workflow, which helps keep setup and review in one editing path.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft provides more explicit question-level upload limits, but availability is tied to organization-based response settings.	Compared with WPS: Google provides clear upload controls, but responders need a Google Account.	Compared with WPS: Notion clearly connects forms with databases, but the cited official page does not show the same direct upload-setting path described for WPS.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is more focused on signing-oriented web forms than relay-style file collection inside a form editor.

Overall Conclusion
If you want to configure file collection inside a Smart Forms relay workflow, WPS keeps the entry path focused inside the same editing flow. Microsoft and Google both document more explicit upload controls, while Notion and Adobe are positioned more around database forms or web signing workflows.
