You can also use the "Notify owner a day before a file is automatically deleted" option to

make sure the file owner will get a notification before a file will be deleted.

--------
|

|
||||
There are 2 options available that can be used to decide when to delete a file:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Creation:** Time the file was created on the Nextcloud Server or uploaded to it.
|
||||
- **Last modification:** Time when the file was last modified. Uploading also counts as a modification,
|
||||
so files that have not been modified since a long time before uploading are not deleted shortly after the upload.

|

Similar to :doc:`access_control` retention should use ``restricted`` or ``invisible``
|
||||
tags. Otherwise any user can remove the tag and the file is not removed after the given
|
||||
period. Use :doc:`automated_tagging` to assign such tags to newly uploaded files.

File age

^^^^^^^^
|

|

Currently retention is based on the creation date of the file. The sync client sends
|
||||
the **original** creation date to the server, while uploading through the web interface
|
||||
will create a new file with a **new** creation date.
|
||||
We hope to be able to add a ``upload date`` to the filesystem soon, which would make more
|
||||
sense. Until then this potentially unexpected behavior has to be taken into account.
