FAQ

What is the difference between Document Cloud Sync and Sync Folder?

  1. Document Cloud Sync automatically syncs documents that have been opened and saved in WPS to a cloud path.
  2. Sync Folder syncs a specified local folder with the cloud and usually requires you to add the folder manually.
  3. If you mainly want automatic syncing after opening documents in WPS, start with Document Cloud Sync. If you need to manage a fixed directory, Sync Folder may be more suitable.

Will files opened before I enabled Document Cloud Sync sync automatically?

  1. No. Files opened before the feature was enabled do not sync automatically.
  2. Only local files opened through WPS after the feature is enabled enter the automatic sync scope.
  3. If you need earlier files, reopen them in WPS or use another upload method.

Can I see Document Cloud Sync files on my phone?

  1. Yes, as long as the phone is signed in with the same WPS account as the computer.
  2. Open WPS on the phone and go to My Cloud Documents or the related cloud path.
  3. If the file is missing, first confirm that sync was enabled on the computer and the upload has completed.
