Expirations Dates

[Phil_COB]

Quick question: In SharePoint Online, didn't there used to be a way to set expirations dates for share links?
I no longer see this option...

@Phil_COB yes, its in the SPO admin center, or PowerShell, see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/manage-sharing

Thanks Dean.  

The link you sent is for OneDrive.  Can I assume there are similar settings for SPO?

Correct, but you need to configure per site collection basis that you want to be able to share with anyone files and folders in your sites

Hi, @Juan Carlos González Martín 

So, Admin can set an expiration date that impacts all shares in a collection, but users can no longer set their own expiration dates for a specific file share?

@Phil_COB some more changes are coming soon, see https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-SharePoint-Blog/Updates-to-SharePoint-security-admi...

Interesting, but it still sounds like only Admin can set expiration dates for all shares in a collection, but users can no longer set their own expiration dates for a specific file share? 

Am I understanding this correctly?

No, an admin can define a default expiration date but an end user can always override that expiration date as long as the date is between current date and the expiration date defined by the Admin

How?  I do not see an option for an end-user to set an expiration date in SharePoint Online, and this is not mentioned in the How To link send by @Dean Gross

I figured it out.  You only get this option for "Anyone with this link"

Thanks for your help.
