About This Feature
Overview
Frequent WPS Cloud Documents is a quick-access area on the WPS home page for Mac. It brings together frequently used locations and pinned cloud files or folders so you can open them faster without repeatedly browsing through directories.
Core capabilities include:
- Add frequent locations: add My Computer, Documents, or local folders to the frequent list.
- Pin cloud files: pin files or folders from WPS Cloud Documents to the frequent list for faster access.
- Unpin items: remove items you no longer need so the list stays organized.
This feature is useful for people who regularly return to the same files and need one place to manage both local entry points and cloud document shortcuts.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides a Frequent entry in the left sidebar on the home page, lets you add other locations, and lets you pin cloud files or folders for quick access. | Microsoft 365 provides Recent and Favorites lists in the Open view, and files can be added to Favorites for persistent access. | Google Docs lets users view files by categories such as Recent, Starred, Shared with me, and Offline. | Notion provides a Favorites section in the sidebar so pages can be added for quick access. | Acrobat provides a Starred tab in Home so important files can be marked and accessed from one place. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: one entry can include both local locations and pinned cloud items. Distinct: the left sidebar on the home page combines location shortcuts and file shortcuts in one area. | Compared with WPS: the official workflow focuses on Recent and Favorites lists in the file open experience rather than a combined local-location shortcut area. | Compared with WPS: the official workflow emphasizes category-based browsing, and the cited page does not describe adding local folder shortcuts. | Compared with WPS: the official workflow centers on favoriting pages in a workspace sidebar rather than managing local file locations and cloud document folders together. | Compared with WPS: the official workflow focuses on starred PDF files in Acrobat Home, so the scope is more centered on PDF access. |
| Official Source | — | Recent files and Favorites | View files by category | Sidebar favorites | Starred files in Home |
Overall Conclusion: If you want a quick access area on macOS that combines frequent locations with pinned cloud files, WPS fits that workflow well. Other products also provide favorites or recent-file access, but their official workflows focus more on document lists, workspace pages, or PDF files.
