    <description>&lt;P&gt;This isn't possible with the current interface unfortunately,&amp;nbsp;but we'll consider this a feature request.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;As a (non-ideal, of course) workaround, you could set the expiration far in the future, e.g., year 9999.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Cross posting from&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34728081/modify-shared-link-settings-how-to-remove-expiration" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer"&gt;http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34728081/modify-shared-link-settings-how-to-remove-expiration&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Basically, I don't see how I can use sharing/modify_shared_link to remove the expiration date from a link. This can be done from the Dropbox web UI, so I'd hope it is possible to do with the API. Any advice would be appreciated.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;==========&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'm using v2 of the core API with HTTP directly, the method &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-modify_shared_link_settings" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-modify_shared_link_settings&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;. I have no problems changing the visiblity, password and expiration date of a link, but I can't see how to *remove* the expiration entirely.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I've tried&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;not sending 'expires' at all in my request while changing other properties - no effect&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;setting 'expires' to the the JSON literal null - no effect&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;setting 'expires' to a time in the past - gives a 'invalid_settings' error&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;setting 'expires' to an empty string - gives a "time data " " does not match format '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ'" error.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'm kind of at a loss here, is there something obvious I'm missing?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thank you for the prompt reply, Gregory. I had implemented a workaround using that approach as a fallback, so I'll use that and patiently wait for future versions of the API. Thanks!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Update: This is now possible using the &lt;CODE&gt;remove_expiration&lt;/CODE&gt; parameter on the&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-modify_shared_link_settings" rel="nofollow noreferrer"&gt;/sharing/modify_shared_link_settings&lt;/A&gt; endpoint.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
