About This Feature
Overview
Enable Collaboration Sharing is an online collaboration feature in WPS Office for Mac. It lets you upload a local document to the cloud and invite other people to view or edit it through a link.
Core capabilities include:
- Start collaboration quickly from the Share button in the upper-right corner of a document.
- Turn on sharing directly from the document list on the home page.
- Set link permissions to view, edit, or specified people only.

| Capability Summary | You can upload a document to the cloud, enable collaboration, share by link, set view or edit permissions, and support up to 50 people editing online at the same time. | Word lets you share a document from Share. If the file is not already saved to OneDrive, Microsoft prompts you to upload it to OneDrive before sharing and co-editing. | Google Drive lets you share files and set Viewer, Commenter, or Editor permissions, with link sharing and broader access controls. | Notion lets you share pages with teammates or guests, assign view, comment, or edit access, and copy a page link for collaboration. | Acrobat supports sharing documents for viewing or review, with a workflow centered on PDF review and comments. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: You can start collaboration from either the document window or the home page file list. Distinct: WPS clearly states support for up to 50 people editing online at the same time. | Compared with WPS: Sharing depends on saving the file to OneDrive first, and Microsoft highlights the web experience for real-time changes. | Compared with WPS: Permission roles are more granular, but the official guidance is centered on Drive file sharing; Google also states a limit of up to 100 open tabs or devices for editing at one time. | Compared with WPS: It is more focused on page and workspace collaboration, with less emphasis on a direct cloud-document workflow for traditional office files. | Compared with WPS: It is more focused on PDF review and commenting rather than a general office document collaboration entry point. |

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to quickly share WPS documents, set view or edit permissions, and continue multi-person collaboration on macOS, WPS provides a direct workflow. If your team already works mainly in OneDrive, Google Drive, Notion workspaces, or PDF review flows, those products may fit that existing setup better.
