| Capability Summary | Configure Puzzle Questions directly inside a Smart Forms file collection workflow, with entry, settings, preview, and save steps in one editing flow. | Microsoft Forms supports file upload questions with limits for file count, single-file size, required status, and file types. | Google Forms supports file upload questions with file type, file count, and file size settings, and responders must sign in with a Google Account. | Notion provides official file upload APIs for attaching files to pages, blocks, and databases, but not as a native public form question type. | Adobe Acrobat Sign supports creating a public web form from uploaded files or documents for form completion and signing workflows. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The puzzle question setup stays inside the file collection editing flow, which is convenient when you want to edit, preview, and save in one place. | Compared with WPS: Focuses on a standard file upload question, and file upload is limited to organization-based response settings. | Compared with WPS: Provides a standard file upload question, but responders must sign in, which limits some open collection scenarios. | Compared with WPS: Focuses more on API-driven workspace attachment than on a built-in question entry for everyday form editors. | Compared with WPS: Focuses more on document-based web forms and signing flows than on question-type setup inside a form editor. |
