Capability Summary	Provides an Industry entry inside the File Collection workflow of Smart Forms, so setup, editing, and confirmation can be completed during form creation.	Microsoft Forms supports file upload questions with controls for file count, size, type, and response scope, but the official page does not describe a dedicated industry field.	Google Forms supports file upload questions with controls for file type, number, and size, and requires respondents to sign in with a Google account; the official page does not describe a dedicated industry field.	Notion Forms is connected to database properties, so questions and properties stay in sync and can be configured with required fields, descriptions, and conditional logic; industry information is typically built through custom properties.	Adobe Acrobat web forms focus on publishing documents as fillable and signable web forms, with participant flow and document-based setup rather than a dedicated industry classification field.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The Industry setting is placed directly in the File Collection creation flow, which helps align the form with a business scenario quickly. Distinct: Entry access, content adjustment, and result confirmation can be completed in one editing flow.	Compared with WPS: It focuses more on file upload rules and organization-based response limits, so industry-style business fields usually need separate design.	Compared with WPS: It focuses more on upload limits and account requirements, so industry information is usually built with standard questions.	Compared with WPS: Its database-linked form design is flexible, but industry setup depends on custom property design, and form creation or customization is limited on mobile devices.	Compared with WPS: It is more oriented to signable web form publishing, with less emphasis on industry setup inside a file collection workflow.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to complete industry-related setup quickly inside a file collection workflow, WPS keeps the entry point closer to the creation steps themselves. Other products emphasize file upload controls, database-backed forms, or signing workflows, but they generally handle industry information through broader configuration methods.
