Set an expiration date for file access

Set a cut-off date on Drive shares via the Set expiration feature

Sometimes you may want to give access to a file or folder for a limited time, for example when working with an external company or contractor.

Use the Set Expiration feature in the Drive Sharing controls to auto-expire a share.

In Drive:

• Select a File or Folder

• Click Share.

• Click Advanced.

• Add the username of the person you wish to share (if not already shared)

• Hover over the person’s name and click Set expiration timer.

• Change the access expiration date.

• Click Save changes and then click Done.
