About This Feature
Overview
Share Calendar is a calendar-sharing feature in WPS collaboration on macOS. It lets you share a selected calendar with other members so they can check availability, view schedules, or edit events based on the permission you choose.
Core tasks include:
- Generate a sharing link from the More menu of a specific calendar and set the sharing permission.
- Start sharing from the calendar home page, choose a target calendar, and generate a sharing link quickly.
This feature fits team scheduling, project planning, and cross-team meeting coordination. After recipients open the link, they can add the shared calendar to their own calendar list.

| Capability Summary | Share a collaborative calendar through a generated link and assign permissions such as free/busy only, view events, or edit events. Recipients can add the shared calendar to their own calendar list after opening the link. | Outlook for Mac supports calendar sharing with permission levels from view-only to higher access, and Microsoft notes that sharing requires Exchange accounts. | Google Calendar supports sharing with people or groups and offers permission levels such as free/busy only, event details, editing, and managing sharing. | Notion Calendar supports scheduling links for sharing availability and also lets users view or pin teammate calendars, with a stronger focus on availability sharing and team scheduling. | Adobe Acrobat supports sharing documents through links for viewing or collaboration, but it does not provide a native calendar-sharing workflow. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: Built around collaborative calendar sharing with direct permission choices for availability, viewing, and editing. Distinct: Recipients can add the shared calendar to their own calendar list from the link, which fits ongoing team coordination. | Compared with WPS: Supports calendar sharing and permissions, but the official guidance highlights an Exchange account requirement. | Compared with WPS: Offers a full permission model and works well in browser-based workflows, while sharing is centered on invitations and settings rather than a direct shared-calendar link flow. | Compared with WPS: Better aligned with sharing availability or viewing teammate calendars, rather than a full shared-calendar link flow for adding a calendar list item. | Compared with WPS: Focuses on document link sharing, so it is not a direct replacement for calendar sharing. |

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to share a team calendar directly with members and manage access by availability, viewing, or editing level, WPS provides a workflow centered on calendar collaboration itself. Microsoft and Google also offer mature sharing permissions, while Notion is more focused on availability sharing and Adobe is mainly designed for document links.
