How to Set Up Proxy for WPS Cloud Sync > 자유게시판

Configuring proxy settings for WPS Cloud Sync is essential for users who are operating behind corporate firewalls or in environments where internet access is restricted through a proxy server.

If the proxy is incorrectly configured, WPS Cloud Sync will be unable to reach its cloud infrastructure, blocking sync operations, backup uploads, and document access.

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

Launch the WPS Office application through your operating system’s application launcher.

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

This brings up the Configuration window.

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

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

If you don’t see it immediately, search for terms like "Network," "Connection," or "Proxy."

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."

Choose "Use Proxy Server" from the available radio buttons.

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.

Enter the port number associated with the proxy server’s service.

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

Select the option labeled "Require Username and Password" if your proxy is secured.

Ensure you’re entering the same credentials you use for other corporate network services.

Verify your input carefully — a misplaced character or incorrect capitalization will cause the login to fail.

WPS Cloud Sync may ask you to select the correct proxy protocol from a dropdown menu.

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

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

Behind the scenes, WPS will ping its server endpoints using the new routing rules.

A green checkmark or "Connected" message will appear, confirming the proxy is working.

If connection fails, recheck the IP, port, and protocol — and ask IT to whitelist 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.

Do not enter proxy details in WPS Office if your system already uses a PAC script — it may cause conflicts.

On Windows, this can be done through the Internet Options under Control Panel, and on macOS, through Network Preferences in System Settings.

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

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

In your antivirus settings, locate "Application Control" and permit wps.exe or WPS Office to access the network.

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

Test the synchronization by uploading or modifying a document to confirm that changes are syncing properly with the cloud.

Following this guide ensures WPS Cloud Sync operates reliably behind corporate proxies.
