FAQ
Why can’t I find my file after I save it?
- First, confirm whether you used Save or Save As.
- If it was the first save, review the path, file name, and file format you selected during the save process.
- If it was a regular save, check the document’s current storage location first.
- If you used Save As and selected local storage, WPS Cloud Documents, or another cloud service, check that specific location.
What should I do if I see a storage space warning while saving?
- Check whether your phone has enough local storage space.
- Remove files you no longer need and try saving again.
- If you still need to keep the document, save it to cloud storage and confirm that enough cloud space is available.
- If you have added another cloud storage service, you can switch to that location and save there.
How do I keep the original file and create a new version?
- Open the document you want to manage.
- Go to More and then Save As.
- Choose a new save location or change the file name.
- Tap Save to create a new file copy.
- After that, check that both the original file and the new file are available.
