Set expiration dates for files in Google Drive

Google Drive has become one of the best and most popular ways to share files between clients, colleagues, and friends without having to download them directly.

Ten years ago, you would send these files as an email attachment or link from a site like Megaupload or MediaFire. Let's all be glad those days are behind us.

A popular feature on those old sites that has carried over to today’s popular sharing sites like Pastebin is the ability to invalidate your link or stop sharing your file after a certain amount of time. This isn’t something we can do via email. However, it’s a feature that many people aren’t aware of in Google Drive.
