WPS Cloud Sync Proxy Configuration Guide

For users in controlled network environments, properly configuring proxy settings ensures WPS Cloud Sync can function without interruption.

Incorrect proxy configuration can result in failed connections, leaving your files unsynchronized and your cloud storage inaccessible.

To enable connectivity, you must update the network routing rules within the WPS Office interface to honor your proxy’s specifications.

Open the WPS Office suite using the shortcut or executable file installed on your system.

In the application’s header menu, find the Tools option and open the Settings submenu.

A new window labeled Options will appear, containing all configurable settings.

Within the Settings window, locate and click on the Cloud Sync tab.

This section contains settings for your linked cloud account, sync frequency, and wps下载 file handling preferences.

Check for a section labeled Proxy Configuration or Internet Settings.

If the proxy option is hidden, look for an "Advanced" or "More Options" link to reveal extra network controls.

The interface will ask you to select either "No Proxy" or "Use Proxy Server."

Tick the box labeled "Connect via Proxy" to activate proxy routing.

You will then be required to enter the proxy server’s address, also known as the hostname or IP address.

Check your company’s internal documentation or contact your system administrator for the proxy details.

The port number is a numerical value that defines the communication endpoint — it must match the server’s configuration.

Common port numbers include 8080, 3128, or 80, but the exact number may vary depending on your organization’s setup.

Turn on credentials authentication if your proxy demands login details.

Use the login details assigned to you for accessing internal network resources.

Even a missing letter, extra space, or wrong case can block the connection entirely.

Certain proxies require you to define the protocol type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5.

WPS Cloud Sync typically supports HTTP and HTTPS; choose the one that matches your network’s configuration.

Click "Save" or "Confirm" to finalize the proxy configuration.

WPS Office will attempt to establish a connection to the cloud servers using the new proxy configuration.

If the settings are correct, you should see a confirmation message indicating successful connection.

If the connection fails, verify that the proxy address and port are accurate, and confirm with your IT team that the proxy allows outbound connections to WPS Cloud Sync’s domains.

On macOS and Linux, the steps are nearly identical, though the menu layout can vary.

On macOS, go to WPS Office → Preferences → Cloud Sync.

It is also worth noting that some organizations use automatic proxy configuration scripts, commonly known as PAC files.

If your network uses a PAC file, you may need to configure the system-wide proxy settings in your operating system instead of within WPS Office.

In Windows, use the Internet Properties dialog; on macOS, use the Network panel under System Preferences.

The application reads proxy details from the OS registry or network stack, making manual entry redundant.

Check that your firewall or security suite isn’t preventing WPS Office from communicating via the proxy.

Add WPS Office to the whitelist in your firewall, antivirus, or endpoint protection tool.

After completing all steps, restart WPS Office to ensure the proxy settings are fully active.

Make a minor change to a document and check whether the updated version syncs to the cloud within a few minutes.

These steps guarantee uninterrupted cloud access, even in complex or tightly controlled IT environments.
