### Interface Customization

- **Design**: Adjust the visual theme or visual appearance settings of the application to suit user preference.

### Data Management

- **Expiration Verification/Monitoring**: Check or review the expiration dates of shared links, files, or folders to ensure continued access or timely removal.
