FAQ

Why do I need to choose a path, name, and format the first time I save a document?

  1. A new document does not have a fixed storage location before its first save.
  2. Choosing a path decides whether the file is stored locally or in a cloud location.
  3. After you set the name and format, tap Save to complete the first save.

What is the difference between Save As and direct save?

  1. Direct save is usually used to keep the latest edits in the current document.
  2. Save As lets you choose a different location and change the file name or file format if needed.
  3. If you want to keep the original file and create a new copy, Save As is the better choice.

How to save a document on Android when a cloud location is not available?

  1. Check whether the device is connected to the internet.
  2. Confirm that you are signed in to an available WPS account, or that the cloud storage service you need has already been added.
  3. If the target cloud space is full, save the file locally first or free up space and try again.
