Standard expiration date for sharing links

Question

Hello,&nbsp;I need to share some of my files for the next 40 days, so an unlimited expiration date for my sharing link is what im looking for. But i cant find any information about the standard expiration date. So the question is, if i create a sharing link now, how lang will it be useable, or is there no default expiration time and it can be used until i remove the access to the folder? (Im not owning a business account)&nbsp;&nbsp;

I have the same question. &nbsp; I have my ebook posted on DropBox with a shared link. &nbsp; I posted it a few months ago and the link expired to it and I had to create a new link and change my email notifications. &nbsp; &nbsp;So yes, Shared Links do expire. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

There is no expiration on a shared link. It will remain active as long as the file or folder it links to remains in the account.

Hi CAB2k, let's jump right into this!&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Do you get any specific errors when trying to share your folders/links with others?&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Did you also receive an email informing you about the ban?&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!&nbsp;

I have been telling them this for months. &nbsp; &nbsp; They keep regurgitating that the subscription I'm on doesn't allow me to set expirations. &nbsp;I have emailed them pictures of all the expiration error messages and I get the same answers. &nbsp; &nbsp;It's a bug in their system and no one will acknowledge it. &nbsp; In fact, the last response I got was that I was in a different version that allowed me to set expirations. &nbsp; Conflicting information that gets you no where. &nbsp; I think I have used DB for over 10 years and loved it until their touted features and help don't work well. &nbsp; I moved my shared files over to Sync.com just for my shared things and it looks to be working well and is free for my level of usage. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;
