About This Feature

Overview

Images and Attachments is a field type in WPS Office smart spreadsheet data tables on Android. It lets you store images, documents, and other files in the same record so you can organize receipts, contracts, design files, site photos, and other supporting materials together with structured data.

Core tasks include:

Create an Images and Attachments field to add multimedia content to a data table.
Upload an image with the camera to capture and save a photo directly from your device.
Upload local images or files from your phone storage.

Capability Summary	In Android smart spreadsheet data tables, WPS can create an Images and Attachments field and supports camera, local file, and cloud document upload paths.	Microsoft Lists uses list columns to store and display different kinds of data, and image or attachment workflows depend on list columns and item forms.	AppSheet supports `Image` columns for pictures and `File` or `Url` columns for documents and audio files.	Notion databases can use the `Files & media` property to upload images and files for each record across table, board, and gallery views.	Acrobat mainly focuses on PDF workflows and supports adding attachments to PDFs, while mobile help also covers opening files from devices, cloud storage, and email attachments.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: One field can manage both images and attachments. Distinct: On Android, WPS provides direct camera, local file, and cloud document upload paths for mobile collection.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft documentation focuses more on list column setup and form-based entry, so the upload flow is less centered on one field workflow.	Compared with WPS: Google documentation focuses on app configuration and column types for app building, while WPS is more direct for everyday mobile table entry.	Compared with WPS: Notion is broader as a general database and collaboration workspace, while WPS focuses this feature on field-based uploads inside an Android data table.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is centered on PDF attachments rather than image-and-file fields for table records.

Overall Conclusion
WPS is a practical choice when you want to collect, upload, and organize supporting files directly inside an Android data table. For mobile table-based record keeping, its upload entry points are more direct, while the other products focus more on list configuration, general databases, or PDF attachment workflows.
