If your organization uses a proxy to manage internet traffic, defining these settings in WPS Cloud Sync is a necessary step to maintain connectivity.

Without properly setting up the proxy, WPS Cloud Sync may fail to connect to its servers, preventing file synchronization, backups, and access to cloud documents.

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.

This brings up the Configuration window.

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

This area lets you manage your WPS Cloud credentials and define how files are synchronized across devices.

Check for a section labeled Proxy Configuration or Internet Settings.

In certain builds, network proxy controls are nested under an "Advanced" or "Network Details" toggle.

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 must input the server’s domain name or numerical IP address as provided by your network team.

Your organization’s helpdesk or IT support team will supply you with the correct proxy address.

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

Some enterprises use ports like 8081, 8082, or even 443 for HTTPS proxying.

Turn on credentials authentication if your proxy demands login details.

Enter the credentials provided to you by your network administrator.

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

Some proxy servers may also require you to specify whether the proxy uses HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS protocol.

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.

A visual indicator — such as a status bar update or pop-up — will confirm connectivity.

Contact your network administrator to confirm that WPS Cloud Sync’s URLs are not blocked by filtering rules.

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.

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.

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

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.

By carefully following these steps, you can successfully configure proxy settings for WPS Cloud Sync, enabling seamless access to your cloud documents even in restricted network environments.
