Google is adding the ability to set expiration dates for access to documents across Google Drive, Docs, Sheets and Slides apps. Thefeature enables you to limit a collaborator’s access to a document for a specific time period, which might come in handy for companies and organizations that often share files with third-parties temporarily:
Now you can set expiration dates for documents in Drive, Docs, Sheets and Slides for those who can comment or view a document. NOTE: you can’t set it for those who have access to editing.
Google notes that the new functionality adds features to the Information Rights Management to enable admins to disable downloading, printing, and copying of Drive files.
The features are rolling out slowly, but Google says it will be there for all end users by the end of Q2.
