Hi kdave, thanks for messaging today!
Shared links don't have an expiration date by default. However, if you're on a Dropbox Professional or Business plan, then you can set an expiration date so that after a certain date, the link will no longer be accessible.
Hope this helps to clarify matters!

I already have the Professional version.
Can you set different links with different expiry times for the same folder?
For Example:
Folder A with Link 123 shared with person A expires on January 15th, 2023
Folder A with Link 456 shared with person B expires on January 30th, 2023

Hi Bzintel, I hope you’re doing well.
At the moment, that’s not possible; you can only create one shared link for the same folder to which you can set an expiration date.
However, it’s possible to create different shared links for different folders/files within this folder and set a different expiration date for each one of them.

Hello,
with the Plus version, is this limitation still there (about not being able to create two shared links at the same folder but with different expiration dates)?
Thank you
