How to stop sharing documents after certain time frame through any flows

[Anonymous]

Files stored in document library are shared with few people. Can sharing be stopped after certain time frame for those files either through any flows or through any other bulk update which can be done manually ?? Please help

There is a stop sharing flow action and that action reinherits the permission from the library which may be what you are after.

You can determine your own schedule by using a scheduled flow, and maybe a date column for a date that is the one to query to stop sharing at?

Make a column with a date and populate i.e. StopSharingDate

Make a flow on a schedule that is daily

Get the items

If StopSharingDate = Today

Execute StopSharing Action

Hi @Anonymous 

You could also add the expiration on a create a sharing link in the primary flow itself :

So basically, after creating the file action you can add this action and configure the sharing link (this will only control the sharing link that is created). The other option would be to set a recurrence flow and use the stop sharing item/ file or folder action:

Hope this Helps!

Hi @Anonymous ,

Please try the following method to configure Flow.

• Create a Date type field in the SharePoint Library to record the date the sharing need to be stopped.
• Configure Get files actions to get all the files and check if the current date is equal to the specified date.
• If they are equal, execute Stop sharing an item or a folder action.
