Hi @ilyakonovalenko Thank you for your feedback. Adding a "never expire" option is indeed a good idea. Before implementing it, I have some concerns:

1. Adding another entry in the expiration delay picker may cause some overflow.

   • Option 1: Add a "never" option in the selector on the right.
   • Option 2: Add a "never expire" checkbox like below the picker.
   • Option 3: Use a more traditional select with dropdown, not really fan, it adds more clicks.

2. I may disable this feature for the public instance for multiple reasons:

   • The instance is free and since it's fully open-source, I don't want to pay for a lot of storage.
   • Their is a risk of abuse, someone could use the instance to store illegal content since it does not require any authentication.

Enclosed was designed to share ephemeral content, so I didn't think about adding such persistent feature. But I understand that it could be useful in some cases.

+1 for the 'never' selector using a separate toggle.

Making it possible to disable this via a ENV var would be ideal.

Option 1 would be good, but some CSS adjustments needed (maybe lower font size or reduced padding).

I'd love to have a config page to disable this :)
