Capability Summary	On Android smart documents, WPS lets you tap + and open Cloud Document to insert WPS files from cloud space, and it can also recognize a pasted cloud document link.	Office for Android supports sharing and collaborating on files stored in OneDrive or OneDrive for Business, with the official page focused on sharing and access settings.	Google Drive on Android supports uploading, opening, sharing, and editing files, which fits a cloud storage and file access workflow.	Notion can preview Google Drive files in pages and databases after connection, which works well for referencing external cloud files in workspace content.	Acrobat on Android can open files from cloud locations such as Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google Drive, with a workflow centered on PDF access and handling.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The entry is built into the smart document editing flow. Distinct: It supports both selecting a file from cloud space and recognizing a pasted cloud link.	Compared with WPS: the official workflow emphasizes sharing permissions and collaboration rather than inserting a cloud file into document body content.	Compared with WPS: the official workflow is centered more on storing and opening files in Drive than on inserting cloud content into the body of a document.	Compared with WPS: the official workflow focuses on previewing and linking external files rather than body-level document insertion during editing.

Overall Conclusion
If you want to insert cloud-based reference materials directly while editing a smart document on Android, WPS provides a shorter in-document path. The other products are more focused on cloud storage access, sharing, previewing, or PDF handling, so their workflows are usually less direct for body-content insertion.
