Orion, Massimo,<br>
<br>
Currently ZendTo wipes all trace (apart from the logs which are
controlled by logrotate) of expired/deleted drop-offs.<br>
As a result, nothing grows over time. Even including the data for
the usage stats graphs that admins can see. That stays constant size
too.<br>
If nothing grows, you never suddenly run out of space.<br>
Which improves reliability and reduces support costs.<br>
<br>
But yes, I can see your point. This feature would be useful for some
sites.<br>
<br>
I'm going to need to have a good think about exactly how to do this
sensibly. It would probably involve an extra button on the
Inbox/Outbox pages that would show you a separate log of past
drop-offs that were to/from you.<br>
<br>
And do note that it is *impossible* to prove that someone *has*
downloaded a drop-off. You can prove they haven't tried to download
it, but you can't prove they have completely downloaded the file. So
don't start relying on that particular "tickbox". It's just the way
the Internet works these days, there's nothing I nor anyone else can
do to change that.<br>
<br>
I'll have a think...<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Jules.<br>

There could be an option in the settings for the "record retentions" so we could set eg 6 months

Subject: [ZendTo] Retaining historical usage
I got the following request from one of our users. It seems like it might reasonable to do. Thoughts?
-----
It'd be useful if the ZendTo Inbox & Outbox tabs could retain their listings after the items therein are no longer active.
The Inbox & Outbox tabs list the active items recently dropped-off or available for pick-up. Once they expire (after 2 weeks, by default), the items disappear from the lists.
I appreciate that the payloads can get quite large, so it may be impractical to retain those for long times. But some simple records shouldn't require much storage, such as that
items were dropped off by NWRA user and when and for whom, or that
items were dropped off for NWRA user and when and by whom,
and the total size of the payload and whether it was actually picked up.
Any option to retain that much information for longer time -- well after the payloads have expired? I occasionally need to refer customers to drop-offs or pick-ups months later, sometimes several years later.
Ideally, the simple record would also store more details of the payload, including names and sizes of individual files, their descriptions, and the comments associated with the drop-off.
