You can set the expiration date for your transfers either when uploading your files or after completing the upload, within your Transfers overview panel.
👉 To change the expiry period before you upload the file:
- Click on the ellipsis button on the bottom left of the transfer panel, or directly click on Expires in on the dedicated dropdown menu
- Select the amount of time you want your transfer to stay online.
👉 To change the expiry date after the upload is completed:
- Click on the Transfers tab at the top of your account
- Under the Sent section, open the transfer you want to change by clicking on it
- Go to the Expiration date information and tap the drop-down menu
- A calendar window will open up for you to select the amount of time you want your transfer to stay online
ℹ️ The recipient of your transfer will see the expiration date in the email they receive when you send the file. Just make sure to inform them if you manually change the expiry date afterward.
👉 🆕 If you want to set a default expiry date for your transfers:
If you're an Ultimate user, you can also set a default expiry date for your transfers. All you need to do is following these steps:
- Click on the Expires in dropdown menu on the transfer window
- Flag the checkbox Remember for next time
- Click Transfer. If you're a Free or Starter user, you'll be prompted to upgrade to Ultimate to unlock this feature. If you click on Save preferences, you'll be redirected to the payment page.
- If you'd like to change your default expiry date, it will be enough to select a different expiration option the next time you send a transfer, flagging the Remember for next time checkbox.
👉 🆕 If you want to enable the recovery of an expired transfer:
When you create a new transfer, the recovery option is enabled by default, allowing the transfer to be recovered after it expires. You can also choose to disable this feature if you prefer. You can check this article for more information about our new feature: Can I download a transfer that expired?
