How can I make sure my files don't have an expiration date?

Hello Fellow Dropbox Users!

Dropbox began creating expiration dates for my files much to my extreme dismay!!!!!!

I don't need this feature, I don't want it, and it has contributed to me having to use an external storage device.

Can someone tell me an easy, not time consuming complex way to stop this from ever happening?

Please and thank you!

    Thanks for posting on our forum, LilyMuseic.

    Can you let me know what type of files you keep seeing an expiration date for? Is this about files you’ve shared with other users (via file transfer) or for personal files of yours? 

    Can you send me a screenshot of what you see on your end perhaps? It’d really help.

    Give me a nudge, when you have more info.
