About This Feature
Overview
Import from Other Accounts is a WPS Office Windows cloud document feature that lets you move files from another WPS account into the account currently signed in. It is useful when you change accounts, reorganize files, or separate personal and work materials.
The main tasks include:
- Import from the desktop client: sign in to the destination account and the source account in My Cloud Docs, then select files to import.
- Migrate through a shared folder: create a shared folder in the source account, then copy files into the destination account's own cloud space.
This workflow reduces repeated download-and-upload steps and gives you a direct way to transfer cloud files on the same device.
System Requirements
| Item | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Operating system | A Windows device |
| App version | The latest version of WPS Office is recommended |
| Network | A stable internet connection is needed for account sign-in and cloud sync |
| Other | You need access to both the destination account and the source account, and the destination account should have enough cloud storage |
Download & Installation

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports importing WPS Cloud documents from another WPS account into the current account, and also supports migration through a shared folder. | Microsoft's official page focuses on sharing documents and creating shareable links for collaboration. The referenced page does not describe a direct cloud-document import flow between two accounts. | Google Drive supports transferring ownership of files and folders to another account, but the file or folder must be shared first, and organization accounts can have transfer limits. | Notion supports duplicating content to another workspace or another account, but the duplicated content may have issues with links, relations, permissions, or page history. | Adobe's referenced page focuses on opening, converting, editing, and combining files through Acrobat for Google Drive, rather than importing cloud documents between two accounts. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides an account-focused cloud migration path inside the client, with both direct import and shared-folder migration methods. | Compared with WPS: the official workflow is centered on sharing and collaboration delivery, not a dedicated account-to-account import path on the referenced page. | Compared with WPS: ownership transfer is available, but it usually requires sharing first and can be limited for work or school accounts. | Compared with WPS: content can be duplicated across workspaces or accounts, but Notion notes that some settings or structures may break after duplication. | Compared with WPS: the official workflow is oriented toward PDF handling and Google Drive integration, not account migration for cloud documents. |
| Official Source | — | Share your documents | Make someone else the owner of your file | Move & duplicate content | Using Adobe Acrobat for Google Drive |
Overall Conclusion
If your goal is to move WPS Cloud documents from one WPS account to another, WPS provides a more task-specific entry point and workflow for that job. The official pages from the other products focus more on sharing, ownership transfer, duplication, or PDF processing, which fit adjacent scenarios rather than the same account-migration flow.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable for | Main issue | Recommended approach |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Switching to a new primary account | Individual users | Important cloud files are still stored in the old account | Use Import from the desktop client to move files into the new account |
| 2 | Separating personal and work materials | Users with multiple accounts | Files need to be reorganized by purpose | Select files and import them into the destination account |
| 3 | Moving personal files into a business account | Users with both business and personal accounts | Import support differs by account type | Try direct import first, then use shared-folder migration if needed |
| 4 | Organizing a large file collection | Heavy cloud document users | Manual download and re-upload takes time | Use a shared folder to gather files, then copy them into the destination space |
| 5 | Checking storage before migration | All users | Limited destination storage can interrupt import | Confirm available cloud storage before starting the transfer |
