Change Expiration For Files in “My Files”

“My Files” provides encrypted local storage of files within the LINK secure container. The default setting for file expiration is 30 days. This is 30 days of *idle* time, which means that every time the user opens the doc and does something with it, the 30 day counter resets. Hence, the document only expires after 30 straight days of not touching it at all.

You can change the global policy (or you can assign different policies to different user groups, if appropriate) on the "Profiles" tab in your LINK Controller. You should have a profile usually called "Offline Profile." Edit that profile (with the pencil button to the far right), and you will see a field labelled "Number of days that files saved to the My Files tab remain on the device. This specifies idle time - the expiration is reset each time the file is opened." This is the setting that determines the expiration period.
