Automatically Deleting Files After X Days - General Data Protection Regulation May 2018
Hi there, I'm using the Java SDK 3x (API v2) and I'm looking for pointers/code to automatically delete files that are X number of days old. There is post on this forum which is doing this in python...

Dropbox StaffThanks for the post! Dropbox doesn't offer a way to do this automatically via the API. I'm sending this along as feature requests for created and modified times for folders, as well as a native way to have Dropbox automatically delete files after a certain amount of time. I can't promise if/when these would be implemented though.
Hello Greg,
Was there any progress on that?
Thanks,
Luk

LukFromTheSky No, unfortunately I don't have an update on either of these feature requests.
I'm a little shocked there isn't a way to do this. Has there been any progress on implementing this functionality?
