This update improves the existing expiring access capabilities by allowing you to add an expiration when sharing, as opposed to after a person already has access to the file. Additionally, you can now add expiring access for editors, as opposed to just for viewers and commenters.  Who's impacted End users  Why it matters  This update makes sharing across Google Workspace more secure by making it easier to specify when a given collaborator should lose access to a specific file. This is especially useful in cases where a file creator or editor knows their collaboration with another person is time-bound. With this security feature, you don't have to clean up a file's access control list after collaboration has ended.  Additional details  You will also be able to set expiring access to files when sharing files in My Drive on Android by the end of November.  Getting started  Admins: There is no admin control for this feature.  End users: This feature will be ON by default and cannot be turned off.
