Set a File Expiration date

It is easy to manage your time sensitive content with setting an expiration date!

Content expiration date

When you set an expiration date for your content, for example contents with a time-limited discount, it will be automatically removed from your Workspace after the specified date. Don't worry though, the document will be moved to the trash folder where it will stay for 60 days before being permanently deleted. During this time, the document will still be accessible in any existing shares.

One important thing to note is that if you upload a new document with the same name to the same folder where the deleted document was originally placed, the deleted document will be removed from any existing shares. So, make sure to keep this in mind when managing your content.
