About This Feature
Overview
Send Cloud Document is a document-sharing feature in WPS Office collaboration chat on macOS. It lets you choose a cloud document directly in a group chat and send it to other members. After sending, the document appears as a card in the conversation, and recipients can open it based on the document's existing permissions.
Core tasks include:
- Open the Send Cloud Document entry from the Send File menu in a group chat.
- Browse available cloud documents by category in the Select File panel.
- Select a document and send it to the group chat for team collaboration.
This feature is useful for sharing meeting materials, discussing shared files, and forwarding recently used documents more quickly in WPS Office on macOS.

| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In a group chat, you can open Send Cloud Document from the Send File menu, browse categories such as Recent, Starred, Shared, My Cloud Documents, Team Documents, My Device, and Frequently Used, then send the selected file. | Microsoft Teams lets users share files in chats or channels and also share files from OneDrive with view, review, or edit permissions. | Google Chat lets users attach local files, images, or Google Drive files in messages and handle access prompts before sharing. | Notion does not provide the same kind of native group-chat cloud document picker. A nearby workflow is sharing Notion pages through Slack integration or sending Slack messages into a Notion database. | Adobe Acrobat supports storing files in Document Cloud and sharing them by link, with a stronger focus on cloud file distribution than in-chat document picking. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS keeps document selection and sending inside the same collaboration chat window, with category-based browsing that fits cloud-document teamwork. | Compared with WPS: Teams relies on chat or channel attachment flows and OneDrive sharing paths across different areas of the product. | Compared with WPS: Google Chat focuses more on message attachments and Drive-based sharing, with file management split between Chat and Drive. | Compared with WPS: Notion mainly depends on Slack integration, page links, or database actions instead of a native chat-based cloud document send panel. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses more on cloud storage and link sharing, so the path for group-chat document sending is less centralized. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS is a practical fit for teams that already communicate inside WPS collaboration chat and want a more direct path to send cloud documents. Microsoft and Google offer mature file-sharing workflows, but they usually depend on their broader file-service structure. Notion and Adobe are closer to link sharing or integration-based collaboration scenarios.
