Link expiry lets you control how long a share link stays active. Once a link expires, the URL stops working automatically — no manual revoking needed. You stay in control of how long your content remains accessible without having to remember to clean up old links.

​
Expiry options

No expiry links require a Pro or Team plan. Free plan links always have an expiry, with a maximum duration of 30 days.

Setting an expiry

1

Open the Share dialog

From your library or Collections, hover over the file or collection and click Share.
2

Select a duration

Click the Link expiry dropdown and choose your preferred duration: No expiry, 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days.
3

Create the share link

Click Create share link. The exact expiry date and time are shown in the Shares dashboard once the link is created.
You can update the expiry on any active share link at any time:
  1. Open the Shares dashboard.
  2. Click the ⋮ menu on the share you want to update.
  3. Select Edit.
  4. Change the Link expiry setting.
  5. Click Save.
Changes take effect immediately. The link URL does not change, so you don’t need to resend it to your recipients. When a share link reaches its expiry time, StaccShare deactivates it automatically. Here’s what that means in practice:
  • The share URL returns a “Link not found” page — recipients who try to open an expired link see an error rather than your content.
  • Your file is not deleted — expiry only deactivates the share link. The original file stays in your StaccShare library exactly as it was.
  • Stats are preserved — view and download counts accumulated up to the expiry time remain visible in your Shares dashboard for your records.
You cannot extend an expired link — once it has expired, the URL is permanently inactive. To share the same file again, create a fresh link:
1

Find the expired link

Open the Shares dashboard and locate the expired link. It will display an Expired badge.
2

Click Reshare

Click Reshare on the expired link row.
3

Set a new expiry

In the Share dialog, select a new expiry duration and review the other settings.
4

Create the new share link

Click Create share link to generate a fresh URL.
A reshare generates a brand-new URL. If you previously sent the old link to recipients, you’ll need to send them the new one — the old URL will not be redirected.
For client deliverables, 7-day or 30-day links strike the right balance between convenience and security. Use No expiry for content you want to keep accessible long-term, such as a portfolio piece or a reference document.
