By default, files expire after 3 months from the upload date. However, you can change the auto-expiration date for all files by updating the Account Defaults.

Changing the Default File Expiration

1. Open the Manage module on the Sidebar.
2. By default, the Account tab is active when opening the Manage module.
3. In the Defaults section, find the Auto Expire field and click its drop down arrow to select the preferred auto expiration date:
   • 1 Week
   • 2 Weeks
   • 1 Month
   • 3 Months
   • 6 Months
   • 1 Year
   • Never
     • Note: you can also enable the Archive on expiry feature wherein files will be moved to the Archived storage when they expire. It is important to note that when files are archived, users will not be able to download them immediately. It needs to be restored first before the files become available again.
4. To make the changes permanent, click Save Changes.
