Capability Summary	In Smart Forms voting scenarios, WPS lets you add a file upload item, open its editing panel, adjust settings, preview the result, and revise it later.	Microsoft Forms supports an Upload file question type with controls for file count, single-file size, and allowed file types.	Google Forms supports a File upload question type with controls for file type, file count, and file size, and responders must sign in to a Google Account.	Notion official documentation mainly explains workspace file and media uploads, plus API-based attachment to pages, databases, and blocks, rather than a native end-user form flow.	Adobe Acrobat supports interactive PDF web forms and can submit form data together with attached files to email or a server through Submit a form actions.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The setup flow stays close to the form editing process, which is convenient for adding, previewing, and revising file upload items in one place.	Compared with WPS: it provides more detailed upload limits, but file upload questions are restricted to organization-based response settings.	Compared with WPS: it provides upload limits, but responders must sign in, and shared drive or admin policy conditions can affect availability.	Compared with WPS: it is more focused on workspace files and API uploads, so the native end-user form editing path is less direct.	Compared with WPS: it is closer to a PDF web form publishing workflow than a lightweight form editor flow.

Overall Conclusion: If your main goal is to configure file uploads quickly in a Mac form editing workflow, WPS keeps the entry point close to the Smart Forms editor. Microsoft and Google document more detailed upload limits, while Notion and Adobe focus more on workspace file handling or PDF form publishing.
