Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides an Other Settings entry inside the Smart Forms file collection workflow, where you can open a configuration panel, adjust related parameters, preview the result, and confirm the changes. | Microsoft Forms provides a settings pane for form-level options such as responder scope, start and end dates, progress display, and response receipts. | Google Forms supports file upload questions with controls for file type, file count, and maximum file size. | Notion Forms lets users configure question descriptions, required fields, sharing options, and submission experience in the form builder. | Adobe Acrobat web forms focus on e-sign workflows, with options for creating web forms and configuring access or identity verification. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The file collection entry and Other Settings are kept in the same creation flow, which helps you complete setup and preview in one editing session. | Compared with WPS: It focuses more on general form response settings, and file collection is more closely tied to organization account conditions. | Compared with WPS: File upload controls are detailed, but they depend on Google account sign-in and Google Drive storage rules. | Compared with WPS: Database-connected forms are flexible, but some advanced logic is tied to paid plans. | Compared with WPS: It is more suitable for signature and verification workflows than for routine file collection setup. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Other Settings is closely aligned with the file collection creation flow, making it practical when you want to configure, preview, and confirm changes in one place.
