About This Feature

Overview

Create New Document is the creation entry in WPS cloud documents on Windows. It lets you create a blank file in the current directory, upload a local file, or create a new folder. After you open + New, you can choose from Smart Document, Smart Spreadsheet, Smart Form, Writer, Presentation, Spreadsheet, AirPage, Upload, and Folder. New content is saved to the current cloud directory.

Core tasks include:

Open the new document page: enter the unified creation panel from the cloud documents area.
Choose a type and create: start a blank file by document type and open its editor.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	WPS provides one + New entry in cloud documents for creating multiple document types, uploading files, and creating folders in the current directory.	OneDrive on the web lets users select Add new to create Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files, and save them to OneDrive.	Google Drive lets users use the New button to create files or folders and upload files or folders.	Notion lets users create a new page or database and upload or embed files inside pages.	Acrobat on the web focuses on Adobe cloud storage, where users upload files and manage folders.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: one entry point covers file creation, upload, and folder management together. Distinct: multiple document types are shown in one panel for faster setup in the current directory.	Compared with WPS: the workflow centers on Microsoft 365 web file creation, mainly around Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.	Compared with WPS: the create and upload entry is clear, but document creation stays within the Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides ecosystem.	Compared with WPS: the workflow is more page- and database-oriented than a traditional office-style new file panel.	Compared with WPS: the workflow is more focused on PDF and cloud file management, with a narrower range for creating office-style files directly.

Overall Conclusion

If you want one place to start a new document, upload materials, and organize folders in the same cloud directory, WPS offers a compact workflow on Windows. If your team works mainly inside a specific ecosystem such as Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Notion, or Acrobat web storage, those platforms may fit better for their own document models.
