set default "Expire after" to 30 days when creating link to share

[krzemyczek]

The bug

the default one is "never" which in my opinion is a little concerning because:

1. we can easily forget about the links with photos which we would not want to be public over time
2. after time there could be so many links that it would be impossible to delete all of them
   of course you can manually change expiration time but who do that? I almost never because it takes too long when you in hurry.

I would like something similar. I think the default should be configurable per-user. I also try to avoid sharing links that never expire and would like that to require explicit action. (I would probably set my default expiry to 3 months or a year).

IMHO the default should be changeable for the installation, and then again a user could overwrite the default of the installation.

This is still an issue. Seems odd that it ever defaulted to "never expire". The default should definitely have a timeframe. Ideally this would be configurable, as indicated above.

I think a configurable default timeframe would be very useful and preferred.

Let me just add some perspective to the use case: yes, I am the tech person of our household. I can of course change the expiry dates of link shares.

But my wife and kids, they wouldn't remember to change the expiry date for each link they create ad-hoc from time to time.

In other words, it really makes sense to be able to change the default expiry to limited timeframe. In our case "in 1 Year" would probably be the default to minimize friction, but a timeframe is definitely needed to help "clean up" all the links that are getting shared with friends and family.
