WPS LAN Files on macOS FAQ

When using WPS LAN Files, the most common questions are about network conditions, receiving requirements, and transfer status; this section covers 4 frequent questions and answers.

FAQ

Why is LAN file transfer different from regular file sending?

1. LAN file transfer sends files directly through the same local network without uploading them to the cloud first.
2. Regular file sending usually depends on a cloud upload and download process.
3. If you need to send larger local files quickly in the office, LAN file transfer is often the more direct option.

What conditions do I need before sending a LAN file?

1. Make sure both the sender and recipient are signed in to WPS Collaboration.
2. Make sure both sides are on the same local network.
3. Make sure the recipient is online, or the acceptance step cannot be completed.

What should I do if the file transfer fails?

1. First check whether both sides are still on the same local network.
2. Confirm that the recipient is online and has clicked Receive.
3. If the transfer still does not complete, re-enter the chat and send the file again, or use regular file sending instead.

Can I cancel during transfer?

1. During the waiting-for-receipt stage, the sender can click the close button to cancel the transfer.
2. After the file enters the transferring stage, the current version does not support canceling during transfer.
3. If you need to stop later actions, wait for the current transfer to finish and then start again if needed.
