Do shared links have a default expiration date on Dropbox Basic?
Hello,
I am currently using the free version of Dropbox, and I would like to confirm if shared links to uploaded folders still do not have an expiration date by default. I understand that with the Dropbox Professional or Business plans, it is possible to set an expiration date for shared links. However, I would like to know if, on the free plan, my shared links will remain active indefinitely unless I manually delete or remove them.
Thank you!
Yes that is correct, they wont expire as long as the file exists, your account exists and you dont go over the daily bandwidth limits :)
