Mandatory time-out for externally shared files?
Is it possible, on a tenant level, to specify a mandatory time-out value, e.g. 30 days, after which externally shared files will no longer be available to external users?
- AFAIK, it doesn't require any specific licence. - I attach a screenshot of the SharePoint Admin Centre - it's the new not the classic in a demo tenant in GA. Logged in via https://admin.microsoft.com - An alternative way is to do it via the OneDrive Admin Centre under sharing and advanced settings. Again, screenshot attached. - Hope that helps! - Best, Chris

- Hi Jakob Rohde
 Yes, see here
 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/manage-sharing
 Log into SharePoint Admin Centre > Policies > File and Folder Links > Choose permissions and expiration options for Anyone links > These Links must Expire within these many days
 Hope that answers your question!
 Best, Chris- JakobRohdeIron ContributorThanks, ChrisHoardMVP In the SharePoint Admin Center, under Policies, I only have "Sharing" and "Access Control", "File and Folder Links". Is that feature covered by a specific license? - AFAIK, it doesn't require any specific licence. - I attach a screenshot of the SharePoint Admin Centre - it's the new not the classic in a demo tenant in GA.
