About This Feature

Overview

Document Cloud Sync is a cloud document feature in WPS Office for Windows. After you turn it on, local documents that you open and save in WPS can be synced to the cloud, so you can continue viewing them on your phone or another computer.

Core capabilities include:

Turn on Document Cloud Sync: Enable the sync switch in Settings to start automatic syncing.
Automatically sync recently used documents: After the feature is enabled, local files opened through WPS can be synced to the cloud.
Access documents across devices: Under the same account, you can view synced documents on your phone or another computer.
Distinguish Document Cloud Sync from Sync Folder: Choose the right method based on whether you want automatic document syncing or a specified folder sync.

This feature is useful when switching between office and home computers, checking documents on a phone after editing on a PC, or reducing manual upload steps in a daily document workflow.

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Automatically syncs documents opened in WPS to the cloud after the feature is enabled, so they can be accessed on a phone or another computer.	OneDrive syncs files and folders between your computer and the cloud, and synced files can be accessed from other devices, including offline after sync.	Google Workspace stores documents and files in Google Drive and supports working across devices, with offline support for Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Gmail in supported scenarios.	Notion lets users download pages for offline use on desktop or mobile apps, then sync changes when the device reconnects.	Adobe Document Cloud lets users store documents online and access or share them across desktop, mobile, and web.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The sync entry is built into WPS settings and focuses on documents opened in WPS. Distinct: It fits users who mainly work with local office documents in WPS and want a direct cross-device continuation flow.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses more on general file and folder sync through OneDrive rather than a WPS-style document-opened sync flow inside the editor.	Compared with WPS: Google focuses more on cloud-native collaboration and Drive-based storage across devices, with the workflow centered on Google services.	Compared with WPS: Notion offline sync is page-based and workspace-based, not a direct automatic sync flow for local office documents opened in a desktop editor.	Compared with WPS: Adobe centers more on document cloud storage, sharing, and PDF-related workflows than on automatic syncing of local office documents opened in an office suite.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to open documents in WPS and have them synced for access on another device, WPS Document Cloud Sync fits that workflow directly. If your team relies more on a general cloud drive, browser-based collaboration, workspace pages, or PDF-centered storage, the other platforms may better match those specific scenarios.
