Option to share the same folders or files to many people in different period of time

Hi there HYKO - thanks for posting on our Community to share your thoughts about this.

Just to clarify, are you referring to some sort of automation option or something else? Would shared links or even a Dropbox Transfer work for what you had in mind perhaps?

Let us know more and we'll take it from there. 

Hey HYKO - did you get the chance to see my response?

Hi Walter,

I was trying to share a folder to different customers who buy a group of no-download videos. In Sharing function, we can define the expiry date but cannot define the viewing period (how many days).  I can only create different folders for different people and set a password and a different expiry date for each folder. It occupies a lot of memory space when I have high volume of customers. How do I solve this problem?

Thank you and kind regards,

Hey HYKO thanks for writing back to us!

Just to make sure we're aligned here, it sounds like you wish to share the same link or Transfer, but assign a different expiration date for each group of people that you share it with, right?

If not, feel free to clarify more.

Essentially the "viewing period" is the same as the expiration date, since the end user shouldn't be able to view the content once it's expired.

At the moment, I don't have a workaround to suggest other than the one you're already using. I'd also try different folders for different people, but in any case, your feedback regarding this has been very valuable, and I will endeavor to make sure your voice is heard.

I'll forward it to the appropriate areas so we can continue to improve.

Hi Megan,

Thank you for your quick response. Yes, I would like to share folders or videos with customers who purchased on different days. I would like to see if it is possible to allow flexible viewing periods.

In my business, using viewing periods is much better and easier than defining an expiration date (saves memory space). In fact, I only need a few viewing periods. Without this option, I would have to create many folders for the same videos (each of which would take up a lot of memory space).

Thank you.

Cheers,
