FAQ

What is the difference between sending a LAN file and sending a regular file?

1. LAN file transfer sends the file directly through the same local network without uploading it to the cloud first.
2. Regular file sending usually follows an upload-and-share workflow.
3. In the same internal network environment, LAN transfer is more suitable for quickly sending larger local files.

What conditions are required to send a LAN file?

1. Make sure both the sender and recipient are signed in to WPS collaboration.
2. Make sure both users are on the same LAN.
3. Make sure the recipient is online and can click Receive in the chat.

What can I do if the file transfer fails?

1. Check whether both network connections are working normally.
2. Confirm that both users are still on the same LAN.
3. Sign out of WPS collaboration and sign in again, then try once more.
4. If the transfer still does not complete, use the regular file sending method instead.

Can I cancel the transfer while it is in progress?

1. During the waiting-for-acceptance stage, the sender can click the close button on the left side of the card to cancel the transfer.
2. After the file enters the in-progress state, the current version does not support canceling during transfer.
3. It is recommended to confirm the file content and recipient before the recipient accepts it.
