adam deltinger Hello Adam, thanks for sending me this link. Unfortunatly this isn`t really what I need. It looks like retention policies are something the admin sets once and then applies to all users. This is not what I want because there might be users that don`t want any of there files delete after sometime because they are all important or whatever.

I hope this makes the point a little bit more clear.
