About This Feature

Overview

Copy to WPS Cloud Document is a file management feature in WPS cloud documents on Mac. It lets you copy a file to a target folder while keeping the original file in its current location.

Core tasks include:

  • Copy a single file from the right-click menu for quick document organization.
