How to Set Up Proxy for WPS Cloud Sync > 자유게시판

Setting up a proxy for WPS Cloud Sync is crucial if you’re on a corporate network, behind a firewall, or in a region with restricted internet access.

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

The process involves adjusting network settings within the WPS Office application to ensure it can route traffic through the designated proxy.

Begin by launching the WPS Office application on your computer.

Go to the main menu bar, click on Tools, and then select Settings from the options that appear.

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

Look for the tab labeled Cloud Sync and click to enter its configuration area.

Here, you will find options related to your cloud account and synchronization behavior.

Check for a section labeled Proxy Configuration or Internet Settings.

If you do not immediately see it, check for an Advanced Settings button or similar link that may expand additional network configuration options.

You must decide whether to bypass the proxy or actively route all cloud traffic through it.

Enable the proxy mode by selecting the corresponding checkbox or radio option.

The proxy address is typically a fully qualified domain name or IPv4

This information is typically provided by your network administrator or IT department.

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

Always confirm the correct port with your IT team, as defaults can differ across corporate networks.

If your proxy server requires authentication, enable the option for username and password authentication.

Enter the credentials provided to you by your network administrator.

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

Some organizations use different protocols for different services — make sure you pick the right one.

If your organization uses encrypted proxy traffic, always choose HTTPS over HTTP.

Press the "Apply" button, then click "OK" to confirm and store your changes.

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.

The configuration workflow is the same, but the navigation path may differ based on your OS.

In these cases, the Cloud Sync settings can often be accessed through the WPS Office Preferences window, which is located under the WPS Office menu on macOS or the main application menu on Linux.

In some environments, proxy rules are defined via a.pac file hosted on an internal server.

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.

On macOS, go to System Settings → Network → Advanced → Proxies → Automatic Proxy Configuration.

Once the system proxy is correctly configured, WPS Office will typically inherit these settings automatically.

Lastly, ensure that your firewall or antivirus software is not blocking WPS Office from accessing the internet through the proxy.

You may need to add WPS Office to the list of allowed applications in your security software.

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

Upload a test file or edit an existing one to see if it appears in your cloud dashboard.

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