About This Feature
Overview
Images and Attachments is a field type in WPS Office data tables on Android. It is used to store images, receipts, contracts, design files, and other supporting documents inside table records.
Core capabilities include:
- Create an Images and Attachments field to add a file-upload field to a data table.
- Upload an image with the camera to capture and attach content on the spot.
- Upload a local image or file from your Android device.
- Upload an image or file from Cloud Docs.
This feature is useful for expense proof collection, project file archiving, inspection records, and mobile field data capture. After you share the data table link, other people can open the link to view and download content in the Images and Attachments field. Online preview is also supported.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On Android, WPS data tables can add an Images and Attachments field and upload from the camera, local phone storage, or Cloud Docs. Shared table links also support viewing, downloading, and online preview. | Microsoft Lists officially supports attaching files to list items to provide additional details for a record. | Google Sheets on Android officially supports inserting images in a spreadsheet, either in a cell or over cells. | Notion databases support a Files & media property for uploading images and files in database entries. | Adobe Acrobat on mobile supports opening and managing files, but the official page does not describe a native table-field equivalent for image-and-file attachments. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS combines camera, local device, and Cloud Docs upload sources in one field workflow. Distinct: shared table links support viewing, downloading, and online preview for attached content. | Compared with WPS: the official Microsoft page focuses on list-item file attachments and does not describe camera upload or a Cloud Docs source in the same field workflow. | Compared with WPS: the official Google page focuses on image insertion in spreadsheets, not a mixed image-and-file attachment field. | Compared with WPS: Notion supports database file properties, but its official help notes extra upload size limits on the Free Plan. | Compared with WPS: Adobe's official mobile guidance is centered on file viewing and management rather than a comparable data-table attachment field. |
| Official Source | — | Add, edit, or delete list items | Add an image to a spreadsheet - Android | Images, files & media | Open files in Acrobat on mobile |
Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to collect images and files directly inside an Android data table and let collaborators open a shared link to view, download, or preview them, WPS is closely aligned with that workflow. Other products provide related image or file handling features, but their official guidance emphasizes different structures such as list-item attachments, spreadsheet images, database media properties, or file viewing.
