Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	In WPS smart tables on iOS, you can create an Images and Attachments field, upload from Camera, My Phone, or Cloud Docs, and choose thumbnail or list display styles.	Microsoft Attachments control can open, add, and delete files from Microsoft Lists or Dataverse tables. On mobile, files are added one at a time, and some iOS file-source limits apply.	Google Sheets on iPhone and iPad lets users add images to a spreadsheet and place them in a cell or over cells.	Notion supports a Files & media property in databases and also supports uploading, embedding, and downloading files in pages.	Adobe Acrobat on mobile focuses on opening, uploading, and managing files for PDF workflows rather than table-field attachment columns.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps field setup, upload entry points, and display options in one smart-table workflow. Distinct: It combines camera, local file, and cloud document sources in the same field.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft is more form-based and mobile uploads are limited to one file at a time in the documented attachment control workflow.	Compared with WPS: Google focuses on spreadsheet image insertion rather than one field that manages both images and general attachments in table records.	Compared with WPS: Notion is stronger for page-and-database content management, while WPS is more direct for mobile table-field setup and record entry.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is centered on PDF file handling, not a comparable table attachment field workflow.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to keep adding images and files to table records on iOS, WPS provides a more direct field-based workflow. Other products also support image insertion or file handling, but their documented focus is more on forms, page content, or PDF management.
