Administrators can now set organization-wide policies to automatically expire "People in your organization" sharing links after a specified period. This helps organizations maintain tighter control over internal content sharing by ensuring links don't remain active indefinitely. Configure expiration timeframes that align with your organization's data governance requirements—whether that's 30 days, 90 days, or a custom period.
