Dear Box Support,  Is it possible to set up a default sharing expiration time frame of 180 days for example, from the admin console? Will this impact existing open links?

Thank you,

Hi Debra, 

Welcome to Box Community, happy to assist! 

You can setup Auto-Expiration for your shared links in Admin Console> Enterprise Settings> Content & Sharing tab

(https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/4404822772755#h_01FYW6V5AVD38DC4TD0J8YNDF2). 

Meanwhile, The auto-expiration shared link settings is not retroactive -- meaning, it'll not affect the shared links already enabled. It'll affect the shared links that will be created from the start of the enabling of the setting.

Hope it helps!
