Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides an Other Settings entry inside the Smart Forms file collection flow, where users can open the settings panel, adjust related parameters, preview the result, and confirm the setup. | Microsoft Forms provides a settings pane for form-level options such as responder scope, start and end dates, progress bar, and response receipts. | Google Forms supports file upload questions with controls for allowed file types, file count limits, and file size limits. | Notion provides official file upload APIs that let uploaded files be attached to pages, blocks, and database objects. | Adobe Acrobat Sign supports web forms with participant setup, file selection, fields, and publishing options. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The file collection entry and Other Settings are kept in the same editing flow, making it easier to adjust settings, preview, and confirm without leaving the current setup path. | Compared with WPS: The public Microsoft page focuses on general form settings and does not show a similarly integrated Other Settings path inside a file collection creation flow. | Compared with WPS: The public Google page focuses on file upload question limits and gives less emphasis to a centralized preview-and-confirm settings flow. | Compared with WPS: The official public capability is mainly API-oriented file upload rather than a built-in settings path for everyday form editing. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses more on signature-oriented web form publishing and participant workflows than on lightweight file collection editing. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Other Settings fits users who are already editing a Smart Forms file collection workflow and want to complete setup, preview, and confirmation in one place. Microsoft and Google emphasize broader form settings or upload limits, while Notion and Adobe focus more on API-based or signature-oriented workflows.
