share "using specific people" add expiry facility

I have scenario where i want to share a file with a guess user not as a anonymous link rather a file which cannot be forwarded using specific people so that the recipient user needs a token to open for  a non Microsoft  domain user. 

 

However, the anonymous links had an advantage of providing the expiry. This feature is not present with share "using specific people". 

 

Could you please let me know how to put the timer and expiry with specific sharing.

      I'm going to jump in here and provide a small correction :) 

       

      We are not building expiration of individual links just yet. Instead, we are building what we call "Expiring external access" which will let you expire external access on a per-site level (instead of a per link level). 

       

      For example, if the policy is 90 days:

      On Day 1, you share Doc1 with a user. They will now expire on Day 90.

      On Day 30, you share Doc2 with the same user. They still expire on Day 90.

      On Day 90, they lose access to Doc1 and Doc2. 

       

      This should still meet your needs but it will actually cover more cases than just expiring sharing links. Let me know if you have any questions!
