“The new cloud storage service should enable Kingsoft to compete on a more equal footing with traditional office productivity vendors, and is also likely to be welcomed by the company’s target SMB customers,” observed King. Automatic backup and link-sharing tools promote real-time collaboration across multiple devices and platforms. WPS Cloud is a complete document storage and management service that lets users view and edit files anywhere at anytime. It now boasts more than 1.2 billion installs worldwide. Kingsoft first launched WPS in China almost 30 years ago. “It will allow Kingsoft to position WPS Office as a fully capable alternative to solutions and services from larger competitors,” he told LinuxInsider. Providing cloud support with WPS Office will provide a good alternative to the likes of Microsoft’s OneDrive offering and Google’s Drive, which is part of its G Suite ecosystem, noted Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT. The personal cloud market, in particular, is expected to reach US$89.9 billion globally by 2020. WPS Cloud is designed to work as a companion to WPS Office, offering users the benefits of cloud computing, such as flexibility and collaboration.Ĭloud adoption continues to soar, according to a report by Allied Research. Today’s mobile users are accustomed to ad-supported apps and other software, according to Cole Armstrong, senior director for global marketing at Kingsoft. It runs on Linux, Windows, Mac and Android devices. The cloud-enhanced version is available for PCs and mobile as a fully functional free release and with premium subscriptions. The upgrade enables users to work in a cross-platform office suite environment with added storage, file roaming and sharing capabilities. Kingsoft on Tuesday announced that it has expanded its WPS Office suite to include WPS Cloud.
