Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In the cloud document list, you can copy files to a target folder from the right-click menu or batch actions while keeping the original file in place. | Word for the web supports creating a copy and downloading it, with guidance focused on saving a copy to your computer or OneDrive. | Google Docs supports Make a copy, including naming the copy and choosing where to save it. | Notion supports duplicating content to another workspace while the original content continues to stay in place. | Adobe Acrobat supports managing files and folders in cloud storage and saving copies, but the help page does not describe the same list-level copy-to-folder flow as WPS. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: You can complete the copy directly from the cloud document list. Distinct: It supports both single-file right-click copying and batch copying. | Compared with WPS: the documented flow focuses more on downloading a copy or saving a copy, and does not emphasize list-level batch copying to a target folder. | Compared with WPS: copy actions are mainly described from the document editing view through Make a copy, with less emphasis on batch organization in a cloud file list. | Compared with WPS: it is more oriented to page and workspace transfer, and duplicated content may require checks for links, permissions, or page structure. | Compared with WPS: the guidance centers on cloud storage management and saving copies, with less detail about batch copying office files from a document list. |
