The link in the email will expire after 30 days or after it's been clicked 100 times. This is a security precaution to prevent unlimited access to your files. If needed, you can re-send the attachment through email to generate a new link.

System Admins for Enterprise plans can disable any file attachment options. Learn how to manage plan settings.
