Sharing temporary files with Drive (delete after expiry)
I thing it may be great to promote Protonmail services to open acess to Proton Drive, after the Beta, to all users, with the possibility to share files bigger than 25Mo with Drive (without permanent storage) including for free users. Putting Proton Drive in alternative to GoogleDrive, Dropbox and others, to share temporary files, should make more people to use Protonmail.

When customizing file link/sharing options, there is option to invalidate link to file after certain date, i would like to tick to delete the file automatically after that date.
The temporary file hosting is important for me. I would like to quickly select hosting period like 1/7/30 days, 1/2/5 years. When i am sharing some image publicly i usually want to do it temporarily for privacy reason.

I use this capability with Microsoft Onedrive, and it is a very handy way to keep from allowing shared files from being available beyond the time desired because one forgot to go and turn off the sharing capability or delete the file. Pretty much any sharing capability should always have the option of a time limit which can enhance security by not having extraneous files lying around that one may have forgotten to turn off sharing or delete the file.

Make it so that we can host a file on proton drive for a temporary time frame. After the time frame expires, move the file to trash(similar to how expiring emails work). This will be useful for a one time share where the file is no longer needed on proton drive after the sharing period ends.
