Auto delete files after a certain amount of time
Hi!
So I have a folder on Dropbox which i use to send files to a client.
Over time this folder gets bigger and bigger, filled with more and more files.
Is there a way i can set an expiration date on a file, so that it gets automatically deleted?
ie. I send a file in March, i set a timer on it so that by May 1st it auto deletes.
This would mean i wouldn't have to stay on top of the large amount of files I'm sending, plus it would constantly keep the folder a little more bearable, and would free up Dropbox space.
Many thanks!

While there's a way to set an expiration on a shared link, it just removes access to the link. It can't delete files.

This feature will be great to organize temporary folders (like Downloads and Captures).
