About This Feature
Overview
File Upload is a configuration feature in WPS Smart Forms on macOS for the Check-in module. It lets form creators add an upload question to a form, adjust related settings, preview the result, and save the configuration.
Core tasks include:
- Open the File Upload settings entry from the form editor.
- Configure the upload settings in the editing panel.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In Smart Forms check-in scenarios on macOS, you can open the File Upload option, configure settings, preview the result, and save it. | Microsoft Forms supports an Upload file question with controls for file count, single-file size, required status, and file type. | Google Forms supports a File upload question with controls for file type, file count, and maximum file size, and stores uploads in Google Drive. | Notion Forms supports forms connected to databases and can use files & media question types; forms can be shared by link. | Adobe Acrobat Sign supports public web forms and file-based setup for signing workflows, but its public documentation does not describe a standalone file-upload question equivalent to a form field in the same way. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS keeps file upload setup, preview, and confirmation inside the Smart Forms editing flow, which fits check-in form setup on macOS. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft offers more detailed upload limits, but file upload is only available when the form is limited to people in the organization or specific people in the organization. | Compared with WPS: Google offers upload restrictions, but responders must sign in to a Google Account, and some storage conditions can block this question type. | Compared with WPS: Notion offers flexible sharing and all plan members can create forms, while some creation and customization actions are limited to desktop and web apps. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses more on signing-oriented web forms and document workflows, and its public guidance does not highlight a matching check-in style upload question setup. |

Overall Conclusion: If your main goal is to configure file uploads inside a Smart Forms check-in workflow on macOS, WPS provides a direct editing path. If you need more detailed upload restrictions or broader external sharing models, Microsoft Forms, Google Forms, and Notion each publish different strengths in their official documentation.
