Is there a way to set the expiration time on the specified file? So, I want the file to self-destruct after a set timeout. So suppose I have Example.txt file, I want this file to be deleted automatically after 24 hours. Is this possible?

  Hi Riski,

  With the exception of the 'remote image fetch URL' feature, which on our paid accounts can auto-refresh or auto-delete fetched images, there's no feature to automatically delete assets from our side.

  Instead, your application can choose to delete the image using one of our APIs, and/or you can use our Search API to find assets matching some criteria, then delete those: https://cloudinary.com/documentation/managing_assets#deleting_assets

  If you want to keep an asset in your account but provide temporary access to those assets for a user, please see our access control options, some of which are time-limited: https://cloudinary.com/documentation/control_access_to_media

  Regards,

  Stephen
