About This Feature

Overview

Insert Cloud Document is a smart document feature in WPS Office for iOS that lets you insert references to other WPS cloud documents into the current document. It is useful for organizing materials, connecting related files, and building a document hub for quick access.

Core tasks include:

Insert a cloud document from the bottom toolbar: choose a paragraph position in edit mode, then insert a file from cloud storage.
Paste a cloud document link for automatic recognition: paste a valid cloud document link into the document body and let WPS recognize it as a cloud document reference.

This workflow fits project notes, reference collections, document directories, and collaborative content organization. Access to inserted content still depends on the permissions of the original cloud document.

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	On iOS, WPS can insert a WPS cloud document directly into a smart document and can also recognize a pasted cloud document link automatically.	Microsoft Office can add links to recent cloud files, but the official page states that this feature requires a Microsoft 365 subscription and focuses on recent cloud file links.	Google Docs on iOS supports inserting and editing links, including manual URL entry, but the official page does not describe direct insertion of a cloud document object into the document body.	Notion supports page links, link-to-page blocks, and pasted URL mentions for workspace navigation and connected knowledge pages.	Adobe Acrobat officially focuses on sharing documents through links, with a workflow centered more on PDF sharing and viewing than inserting cloud document references into document content.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps the workflow inside one editing path: place the cursor, insert a cloud document, choose a file, or paste a cloud document link for automatic recognition.	Compared with WPS: emphasizes recent cloud file links and the official page marks the feature as subscription-based.	Compared with WPS: supports general link insertion, but the official page does not show a cloud document recognition flow.	Compared with WPS: stronger for workspace page linking and navigation than document-style cloud file insertion.	Compared with WPS: centered on link sharing for PDFs rather than inline cloud document references in a document editor.

Overall Conclusion

If your main goal is to connect WPS cloud materials inside an iOS document, WPS provides a more direct path for inserting and recognizing cloud document references. Other products also support links or connected content, but their official workflows focus more on subscription-based cloud links, general hyperlinks, workspace page linking, or PDF sharing.

2	Reference document navigation	Editors and writers	Supporting materials need to be cited without duplicating content	Insert cloud document references at the right paragraph position
3	Collaborative document linking	Team collaborators	Different people maintain different files and switching is inefficient	Connect related files inside one document through cloud document insertion
4	Directory and index building	Content organizers	A document index and jump path need to be built quickly	Use cloud document insertion or link recognition to create a structured index
5	Ongoing source updates	Users who need current materials	Re-copying content can become outdated	Keep a reference to the original cloud document for access to the latest version
