Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	In the Smart Forms editor, you can enter the file collection module, configure Upload File, preview the result, and save the setup in one editing flow.	Microsoft Forms lets authors add an Upload file question, set file count limits, single-file size limits, required status, and allowed file types.	Google Forms supports a File upload question with file type, file count, and file size controls, and stores uploaded files in Google Drive.	Notion Forms supports form creation for all plans and connects forms to databases; forms can use files and media question types in the form workflow.	Adobe Acrobat Sign provides an external file attachment field for agreement workflows and is oriented more toward signing and document approval processes.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: Upload File is placed directly in the Smart Forms file collection workflow. Distinct: setup, preview, and save can be completed in one editing flow.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft Forms emphasizes organization-based response settings and OneDrive or SharePoint storage rules.	Compared with WPS: Google Forms depends more on Google account sign-in and Google Drive storage for uploaded files.	Compared with WPS: Notion is more database-centered and form creation or customization is limited to desktop and web apps.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses more on attachment collection inside e-signature workflows than on general-purpose form file collection.

Overall Conclusion

If your main goal is to configure file collection, preview the result, and save the setup inside a Smart Forms workflow, WPS keeps the process more centralized. If your team already works mainly in Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Notion, or Adobe signing workflows, those products may fit better with the tools you already use.
