Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides a File Management entry in the Quick Start area of the Smart Forms editor, where you can open a panel, adjust settings, preview, and confirm.	Microsoft Forms provides an Upload file question type with controls for file count, single-file size, file type, and storage in OneDrive for Business.	Google Forms provides a File upload question type with controls for file type, file count, file size, and storage in Google Drive.	Notion documents file upload and media management for pages, databases, and media blocks, mainly through workspace content and API workflows.	Adobe Acrobat Sign lets you upload documents, add recipients, and send signature requests, focusing on document collection and signing workflows rather than form field file settings.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The File Management entry is placed directly in the Smart Forms Quick Start flow, which helps you complete setup and preview in one creation sequence.	Compared with WPS: Focuses more on responder file-upload questions and depends on organization settings and OneDrive storage.	Compared with WPS: Focuses more on collecting uploaded files from responders during form submission.	Compared with WPS: Supports file uploads, but the official guidance is centered on pages, databases, and API workflows instead of a similar quick form setup flow.	Compared with WPS: Better suited to document signing and agreement sending rather than Smart Forms Quick Start file configuration.
