Default Retention policy

For accounts on the Professional plan and higher, the File Retention policy causes files to automatically be deleted some days after they are uploaded. This option can be configured separately for each root-level folder in the system. This setting determines the default file retention policy used when a new root-level folder is created. Never is the default value.

To change the default retention policy:

  1. Navigate to Account settings.
  2. Select Advanced Preferences.
  3. Select File Settings
  4. Go to Default retention policy.
  5. Select the cadence from the given options.
  6. Save your changes.
