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?

Thanks, @Christopher Hoard
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. 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!

I figured it out: if the External Sharing setting for SharePoint is set to Anyone (most permissive), the expiration section shows up.

Hi all,
Just wanted to pop in here and note that the expiration value you are looking at only applies to links that work for Anyone. If you share via a specific people link though, the external user's access will not expire. We do have another feature coming soon called expiring external access which will help cover all of these types of scenarios :) Thanks!

Hi @Stephen Rice,
allow me to follow up here. Are there any news about this new feature? Expected Preview, GA?
We are trying to introduce 'ad-hoc' external sharing on OneDrive to prevent our users from using public services (like WeTransfer). Won't be using Anonymous links for security reasons so the ability to expire shared content for specific people sharing is a must for us.

Hi @Marek Halfar,
Feature should start rollout this quarter but if you are interested, shoot me a PM and we can enable the private preview for your organization. Thanks!

I am still not able to do this (specify a timeout for documents shared with specific people). Has the feature been released and, if so, where do I find it?

Hi @Jakob Rohde,
The expiring external access feature has not been rolled out yet. There is an updated Message Center post with the latest timelines & updates. Thanks!
