Compare with Alternatives

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides a Multiple Selections entry in the Smart Forms file collection workflow, where you can set parameters, preview the result, and confirm the configuration. | Microsoft Forms supports file upload questions, file number and size limits, and branching based on question answers. | Google Forms supports checkboxes, file upload, and sending respondents to different sections based on answers. | Notion Forms supports multi-select properties, files and media fields, and a maximum selection setting for multi-select. Conditional logic is available on some plans. | Adobe Acrobat Sign supports web forms created from documents for submission and signing, but it is not the same type of file collection multiple-selection editing workflow. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The setup is placed directly inside the file collection editing flow, which helps complete setup, preview, and confirmation in one place. | Compared with WPS: The official workflow focuses on general form questions, upload limits, and answer-based branching rather than a file collection multiple-selection editor. | Compared with WPS: The official workflow focuses on survey sections, answer routing, and uploads rather than a file collection multiple-selection panel. | Compared with WPS: Multi-select and form logic are supported, but some advanced logic depends on plan level. | Compared with WPS: The official workflow is oriented to document signing and submission rather than the same type of file collection configuration tool. |

Overall Conclusion: WPS Multiple Selections is closely aligned with the Smart Forms file collection setup flow on macOS, especially when you want to configure options and review the result before confirming. Other products also provide forms, multi-select, upload, or submission features, but their official workflows focus more on surveys, general forms, or signing scenarios.
