@jacquesvandermerwe The command box files:unshare should be used to unshare i.e. delete a shared-link.

@sujaygarlanka the idea is not to delete the shared link but to remove the expiry date of the existing shared link, hence its an update not a delete

The Box CLI currently has no way to remove the expiration date of a shared link. While this is not a fatal bug, I am having trouble with it as well.
