Time validity of a shared link

Dear Dropbox Community,

 

I have a question about shared links.
During how much time a shared link is valid? (with a free account)
I need to send a file with several documents in it, I can't share this folder directly with someone because i don't know who will consult and I need it to be valid at least for 3 months.

 

Thank you in advance for your help,

 

Emma

    Hi EmmaL1, thanks for messaging the Community!

     

    Shared links remain valid indefinitely, provided you don't delete the link itself, or delete the files or folders that the link is referring to on your account.

     

    If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

    A shared link will exist for as long as the file or folder exists, or until the link is removed manually. They don't expire.
