About This Feature
Overview
Upload File is a setup option in the Smart Forms attendance scenario in WPS Office for Windows. It is used to add file upload capability to a form so you can collect images, documents, and other attachments in one place.
Core tasks include:
- Open the Upload File entry: go to the attendance module in the form editor and locate the upload option.
- Configure and preview upload rules: adjust the available settings in the pop-up panel and check the display result.
- Save the upload setup: confirm the settings so later responses follow the current configuration.
This feature is useful for attendance check-ins, document collection, homework submission, and internal registration workflows where attachments need to be gathered together.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Configure file upload in the Smart Forms attendance workflow, then complete setup, preview, and save in the editor. | Microsoft Forms lets authors add a file upload question and set file count, single-file size, and allowed file types. | Google Forms supports file upload questions with file type, file count, and file size limits, and stores uploaded files in Google Drive. | Notion provides official file upload APIs that let developers upload and attach files to pages, blocks, and databases. | Adobe Acrobat focuses on collecting submitted PDF form data and exporting results, rather than providing the same kind of online form file upload question flow. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: the upload setup is placed directly in the attendance module, which fits a form editing workflow on Windows. Distinct: the current workflow is available without membership. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft Forms offers more detailed upload limits, but file upload questions depend on organization-based response settings. | Compared with WPS: Google Forms has a mature file upload question type, but responders must sign in with a Google Account. | Compared with WPS: Notion file upload is API-oriented and is less direct for everyday form editors. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat is more focused on PDF form data collection and management than on online attendance-style upload setup. |

Overall Conclusion
For users who want to set up attachment collection quickly in a Windows form editing workflow, WPS keeps the upload setup close to the attendance form editor. Microsoft and Google provide strong form upload features in their own ecosystems, while Notion and Adobe are better suited to API-driven file handling or PDF form data management.
