About This Feature
Overview
The Multidimensional Image and Attachment Field is a built-in field type in WPS Office for Mac multidimensional tables. It is used to store images, documents, audio, video, and other files inside a single record. It supports creating a dedicated field, uploading local files, uploading cloud files, and showing image content more visually with gallery view.
Core capabilities include:
- Create an image and attachment field: add a dedicated file column to a table.
- Upload local files: add files from your Mac directly to a target cell.
- Upload cloud files: choose files from cloud storage and write them into a record.
- Reuse attachment content across tables: combine lookup or related-table workflows to reuse existing files.
This feature fits asset tracking, approval material collection, project archiving, and image-based record display in WPS Office.

| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | WPS multidimensional tables let you create an image and attachment field, upload local or cloud files in record cells, and use the field for image display and file archiving. | Microsoft Lists lets users attach one or more files to a list item for additional details, but the attachment is tied to the item form. | Google Sheets supports file smart chips and file links for referencing cloud files, but not a native attachment field. | Notion databases provide a File property that supports uploads, pasted links, drag-and-drop, and multiple files. | Adobe Acrobat lets users attach files to PDF documents, which is document-based rather than a table-field workflow. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: manage attachments directly in structured table records; Distinct: supports both local file upload and cloud file upload in the same field workflow. | Compared with WPS: supports list item attachments, but Microsoft notes that files cannot be attached in Edit in grid view. | Compared with WPS: focuses more on file links and smart chips, without a native record-level attachment column. | Compared with WPS: also supports multiple files, but the workflow is centered on database properties rather than a multidimensional table field. | Compared with WPS: better suited to attaching files to PDFs, not to record-level attachment fields in a table. |

Overall Conclusion
If your main workflow is collecting and managing images, documents, and other files inside structured table records, WPS is a closer fit for record-level collaboration. Other products also support file attachment or file reference workflows, but their focus differs in field-based entry and table-style presentation.
