Trash Retention

Trashed items are automatically permanently deleted after the configured retention period (set by the administrator). The retention period is displayed in the Trash view.

  • When a file or folder is moved to the Trash, all its public links are deleted and can no longer be accessed.
  • When a trashed item is restored, its direct sharing permissions (users and groups with access) are preserved. Public links that were deleted when the item was trashed are not restored.
