You can set a suggested number of days that a share remains active by default.

 

To set the Share Expiry default in a policy:

  • Open a browser and log in to the Admin Portal.
  • From the left navigation pane, click Settings, and then click the Policies tab.
  • Across from the policy that you want to edit, click the edit icon.
  • In the General tab, scroll down and change the value of the Default Share Expiry in Days setting.

    The value is only changed for users who are using this policy

You can also remove the expired shares automatically. To automatically have expired share links removed:

  • Open a browser and log in to the Admin Portal.
  • From the left navigation pane, under Settings, select Settings.
  • Select the Misc. tab, and then the Share sub-tab.
  • Under Sharing Settings, in Removed Expired Shares, select the checkbox.
