[feature request] Delete old files #1269

Open albertbern opened 9 months ago

Is there a way to delete old files from all accounts?

I have an organisation and organisation users will get their large files ( huge ) via alias share links. They will download them and always forget to delete files to free space. I use maria db and filesystem as storage.

I want to delete files, e.g. older than 1 week. But alias share links should live forever so 3rd party could upload new files regularly.

I can use API to delete only my admin account files now, because i can`t see other users files (

Or can I somehow make old files orphaned?

I have wrote script: created in DB stubby share for my account , changed old files share to this stubby share and deleted stubby share via API. Not an elegant solution.

Currently there is no easy way to do it, unfortunately. Files uploaded via aliases are not expiring unless published. I think this script you wrote is a good way for now.
