Set expiration date to fixed date?

Find me please

Setting an expiration date beyond 30 days in OneDrive for Business:

1. Manual Method (Per File, Any Expiration Date)

• When sharing a file, you can manually set the expiration date to any future date (e.g., 60 or 90 days).
• Steps: Right-click file → Share → Set expiration date → Choose desired date → Apply.
• Pros: Simple, no admin rights needed.
• Cons: You must do it manually for every file.

2. Admin Policy (For "Anyone with the Link")

• An admin can set a default expiration policy (e.g., 90 days).
• Steps: Microsoft 365 Admin Center → SharePoint Admin → Policies > Sharing → Set expiration (max 730 days).
• Pros: Automatically applies to all anonymous links.
• Cons: Only works for "Anyone with the link" (anonymous sharing), not for internal or specific people links.

3. Power Automate (Automated for Any Link Type)

• Use Power Automate to automatically generate sharing links that expire 30+ days from today.
• Steps: Create a flow → Use "Create sharing link" action → Set expiration to utcNow() + 30 days.
• Pros: Works for all link types (Anyone, Specific People, Organization).
• Cons: Requires setup and Power Automate knowledge.

Option you can choice…

• If you want quick manual control, use Option 1.
• If you are an admin managing many users, use Option 2.
• If you want full automation for any type of link, use Option 3.
