1
share the file as usual
click the three-dot menu on the file row, then "share". the share dialog opens.
2
turn on "set an expiration date"
the toggle is right below the share link. pick a date (defaults to 30 days from today). the recipient can access the file freely up to that date — after, the link returns a 404.
3
send the link
the link works exactly the same way for the recipient. no countdown shown, no warning — just stops working when the date passes. you can extend the expiration anytime from the file's detail panel.
tip
for contracts and one-time deliverables, 30 days is plenty. for customer-portal type files (a hand-off package), use 90 days so they have time to download. avoid "never expires" for anything you wouldn't want a third party stumbling on a year later.
