About This Feature

Overview

Add Cloud Document Attachment is an email attachment feature in WPS Office on Windows. It lets you open a cloud document picker while drafting an email, choose a file, and insert it either as a cloud document link or as a physical file attachment.

Core capabilities include:

Open the cloud document picker directly from the email editor.
Browse or search cloud files before attaching them.
Choose between inserting a cloud document link and inserting a file copy, depending on how you want recipients to access the content.

This feature is useful for collaborative document sharing, online review, and sending file copies to external recipients. It helps reduce repeated download-and-upload steps and keeps attachment preparation inside the email workflow.

Capability Summary	In WPS Mail, you can choose a file from cloud documents while composing an email and insert it as a cloud document link or as a file attachment.	Outlook supports attaching cloud files and lets you send a link or a copy, with permission options for recipients.	Gmail supports inserting Google Drive files as a Drive link or, for eligible file types, as an attachment, and checks recipient access before sending.	Notion Mail focuses on Gmail-based inbox management and email composition. Its official help page does not describe a direct workflow for attaching a Notion cloud document inside email composition.	Acrobat on the web supports sharing documents through links for viewing or review, with a workflow centered on Acrobat web documents and PDFs.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps cloud file selection and insertion mode choice in the email drafting flow. Distinct: it supports both link sharing and file-copy insertion from the same attachment path.	Compared with WPS: Outlook also supports link or copy sending, but its workflow is centered on OneDrive and SharePoint sharing permissions.	Compared with WPS: Gmail works well with Google-native files through Drive links, while attachment mode depends on file type.	Compared with WPS: the published Notion Mail workflow emphasizes inbox management and writing, not a matching cloud-document attachment flow.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is more focused on document-link sharing for PDFs than on office-document attachment choices inside a mail editor.

Overall Conclusion
WPS keeps this workflow focused on preparing email attachments from cloud documents without leaving the compose window. For users who need to switch between online sharing and sending a file copy in the same message, the process is direct and practical, while other products are more tied to their own storage or PDF-sharing systems.
