Using Box: Expiration Dates

1. Select the file you would like set an expiration date on and click the ". . ." next to "Share."

2. Click on "More Actions".

3. Click on "Set Expiration."

4. Check the box next to "Auto-delete this item..."

5. Select the date for when the file will be removed. Please note, this will delete your file. If you do not want to delete the file, only access to it, you might want to consider providing a bookmark to the file instead. (See below for "Setting an Expiration on Bookmark".)

2. A pop-up will open. Switch the toggle on “Enable shared link”.

3. Click on "Link Settings."

4. Check the box next "Disable Shared Link on" and pick the date when you want the bookmark to expire.
