In recent days, the topic of WPS deleting users’ local files has caused heated discussions among netizens, because a blogger exposed that his files were officially deleted. Clicking on the file will prompt a pop-up window as “The file has been forbidden to access”, the reason is “may contain prohibited content, and access has been stopped”.The official also responded to this for the first time, saying that the file mentioned by the user was not a local file, but an online document. Because of suspected violations, others were prohibited from accessing the link.

Unlike local files, online documents are actually uploaded to the WPS cloud.Just like Baidu Netdisk, Netdisk App usually prohibits sharing or even deletes files directly after uploading illegal files.It is an operation that complies with legal regulations.
Although the facts are very clear, some netizens are still puzzled and think this operation is unreasonable.
In this regard, Kingsoft Office CEO Zhang Qingyuan also responded to the matter in an interview with LatePost later.He always believed that WPS did nothing wrong – just did what the information platform should do according to the legal requirements.
In the interview, he affirmed that WPS did not delete or block the local files of the parties, because the other party misunderstood the difference between online files and local files, and he also emphasized that WPS will never audit or perform any operations on the user’s local files.
He is reluctant to disclose the specific reasons why the document is suspected of being banned, saying that it is not good for the users involved and also belongs to the privacy of users.
However, at the same time, he also admitted that the boundaries between online documents and local documents are blurred, and users are easily confused, and “are areas that need to be improved.”
