Hello,
Could you please confirm if I remove an expiration date from a shared link so it remains always available, will this default to this way for all upcoming shared links? Or must the expiration date be set manually to never expire each time I want to share a link?
Thank you,
Alison
Hi Alison, there are bigger Box brains than mine in this forum so I may be corrected, but if you're an Admin you can set the default auto-expiration date for shared links by going to the Admin console>Enterprise Settings>Content and Sharing. The settings can be applied globally or on a per-folder basis. If you do make a change, I don't belive it will affect links already in place.
Thank you, Andy! Could you please confirm if we copy/paste the Box URL versus generate a shared link within Box, would this be a workaround from having to set the link to never expire? I.e., if we copy/paste a Box URL, would this never expire?
Hi Alison, i don't believe that will work. The great thing about links is that they continue to work even if the file/folder is moved whereas copying the URL would not.
Best, Andy.
