Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	In the mail editor, you can choose a file from cloud documents and insert it as either a link or a file attachment.	Outlook can attach local files and also lets users send OneDrive or SharePoint files as a link or as a copy, with permission options.	Gmail can insert Google Drive files. Drive files can be sent as links, while files not created in Docs, Sheets, Slides, or Forms can be sent as attachments.	Notion Mail officially supports attaching files from a device. No official public page was found for directly inserting a Notion cloud document as an email attachment in a similar workflow.	Adobe Document Cloud focuses on sharing PDF links by email for viewing and tracking, with a workflow centered on PDF files.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps cloud file selection, search, and both insertion methods in one attachment flow, which is practical for email sharing and document collaboration together.	Compared with WPS: Outlook provides mature cloud-link sharing and permission controls, but the workflow is mainly tied to the OneDrive and SharePoint ecosystem.	Compared with WPS: Gmail is more link-oriented for Google-native files, and attachment behavior depends on file type.	Compared with WPS: Official guidance is centered on device file attachments, with less public documentation for direct cloud-document-to-email attachment workflows.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is more focused on PDF sharing and review than on a general office cloud document attachment flow.

Overall Conclusion
WPS focuses on keeping cloud document selection, search, and both insertion methods in one mail workflow. For users who need both online collaboration and direct file sending in email, this approach is straightforward, while other products are often more centered on their own cloud ecosystems or on specific file types.
