About This Feature

Overview

Frequent WPS Cloud Documents is a quick-access area on the WPS Office home page in Windows. It helps you show frequent locations, pin frequent cloud files, and remove pinned items when they are no longer needed.

Core tasks include:

Add frequent locations: add This PC, Documents, or local folders to the Frequent area on the left.
Pin cloud files: pin files or folders from WPS cloud documents to the Frequent list for faster access.
Unpin items: remove locations, files, or folders from the Frequent list to keep it organized.

This feature is useful when you open the same files repeatedly, switch between local folders and cloud documents, or want a shorter path to your working files.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	WPS provides a Frequent entry on the left side of the home page, where you can add other locations and pin cloud files or folders for quick access.	Microsoft 365 shows Recent and Favorites in the Open view and lets users add files to Favorites, with a stronger focus on file-list management in the file-opening flow.	Google Docs groups files by categories such as Recent, Starred, Shared with me, and Offline, with a stronger focus on category-based browsing.	Notion provides Favorites in the sidebar so pages can be added for quick access in workspace navigation.	Adobe Acrobat lets users open files from Home > Recent and also open local or web-based PDFs in the app.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: combines frequent locations and pinned cloud files in one home-page entry; Distinct: the left sidebar entry is direct for repeated access on Windows.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft emphasizes Recent and Favorites in the Open window, while location-based quick access is less central in the same way.	Compared with WPS: Google emphasizes Starred and Recent categories, while local location pinning is less direct in the same workflow.	Compared with WPS: Notion Favorites is designed for page navigation rather than a mixed entry for local folders and cloud files.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on opening and viewing PDFs, so frequent-location and mixed file pinning scenarios are narrower.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Frequent WPS Cloud Documents is a practical fit for Windows users who want local locations and cloud files in one quick-access entry. If your daily work depends on reopening the same folders and files, the home-page sidebar workflow is more direct, while the other products focus more on recent files, starred items, page favorites, or PDF opening.
