Trash​

In the web app, deleted files go to the trash first and stay there for 30 days by default, so users can restore them. The period can be changed for your project. Files in the trash don't count toward the user's storage quota.

These features are available in Cloudike branded apps. To add file features to your own app, see the Files SDK for iOS and Android.
