    You can set an expiration for a new shared link using the .NET SDK like this:

     

    var settings = new SharedLinkSettings (expires: new DateTime (2016, 12, 25));
SharedLinkMetadata sharedLinkMetadata = await this.client.Sharing.CreateSharedLinkWithSettingsAsync (path, settings);

Console.WriteLine (sharedLinkMetadata.Url);
Console.WriteLine (sharedLinkMetadata.Expires);
