Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides a Filling Settings entry in the File Collection workflow, where you can open the settings panel, adjust parameters, preview the result, and save the configuration.	Microsoft Forms provides form settings for responder scope, response options, dates, progress display, and related controls. File upload questions also support limits for file count, size, and type.	Google Forms supports file upload questions with controls for allowed file types, maximum file count, and maximum file size, and responders must sign in with a Google account.	Notion provides API-based file upload workflows that attach uploaded files to pages, blocks, and databases, with a stronger focus on workspace content objects than end-user form setup.	Adobe Acrobat Sign supports web form creation with participant setup, file selection, field authoring, and a public form URL for online collection workflows.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps the filling setup inside the file collection creation flow, so you can configure, preview, and save in one editing path.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft offers broad form settings, but file collection controls are split between overall form settings and upload-question settings.	Compared with WPS: Google provides clear upload limits, but the setup is centered on question type configuration rather than a dedicated file collection settings panel.	Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on developer-facing upload APIs and workspace content management instead of a direct filling settings interface for form editors.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is more oriented to signing-focused web forms and agreement workflows than a file collection filling settings panel.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Filling Settings is closely tied to the file collection creation flow, which makes it practical when you want to configure, preview, and save in one place. Microsoft and Google provide strong form and upload controls, while Notion and Adobe are positioned more toward API-driven content handling or signing-oriented web form workflows.
