How to create a folder which is auto deleted after one week and is password protected?

Question

Hi all,

I have a C# Application and like to achieve the following:

• Create a folder which is automatically deleted after a certain timespan (e.g. one week)
• Make this folder password protected.

My intention is to provide limited access to certain files by external users.

I wonder if this is possible to achieve via Graph API?

Regards :-)

Answer 1

Hello Abid Hussain,

With Microsoft Graph createLink you can create sharable link with password and ExpirationDateTime, and external users can no longer access the file/folder using sharable link after expiration date, but the file/folder will not be deleted from source.

Hope this helps.
