Hi Stew1234,

 

Sorry for the delay here! The team has been working through a few last minute bugs that popped up in our testing and we're working on getting this out as soon as possible. The Message Center post should still be live and we are it as changes are made. 


We know this is a much-waited for feature and we're excited to get it out there as soon as we can! Thanks!

    Im assuming there has been no movement on this since your last comment?  Its a bit frustrating that its been a huge feature request for multiple years now.  You have it for "anyone with the link" i dont understand why you cant implement for the other categories of shared items.

    Hi mgudites1,

     

    For now, we recommend using the site-level expiration feature which we shipped a year or two back. We don't have anything specific to share about expiring of individual links... yet 😉

    StephenRice -- would you be able to shed some light on why this functionality still isn't available? In my organization I still don't have an expiration option for "specific people" links in OneDrive OR SharePoint. This feature would be useful not just for "external" users, but for internal as well. There have been lots of scenarios where our users would like to be able to share one file with someone from another department, and have it expire automatically. Any plans to add expiration to "Specific People" links?

    Hi Berendsen22061993,

     

    Unfortunately it's taken us a little longer to squash the last few bugs that we'd hoped. The good news is that we are now good to go 🙂 The Message Center post should have been updated recently and we'll begin the rollout in the next two weeks or so! Very excited to finally get this into your hands!
