I love the concept as a sender, I hate the concept as a receiver.

It means a ton more mental overhead: "do I need to jot down the info from this email somewhere (manually?) now because at some point it's going to expire or my access is going to be revoked?".

Frustrating. It's the opposite of all the benefits of gMail search.

This will result in one of two things from me: 1) auto forward everything to a non-gmail archive account 2) if blocked, finally leave gmail

Someone posted further up that when you send a "secure" email to an outside the company email address, they get a link to ope the email and have to enter a one-time code that is emailed to them.

So even forwarding is broken, as is search for those of us that search our emails a lot.

This is a Gsuite admin feature, leaving personal Gmail does nothing and if you happen to control your Gsuite account... just don't turn it on.

Its kind of the point to frustrate the receiver. If I don't want you archiving or resending what I sent to you, I can use this feature to do that. Sure, you can jot down the information, make a screenshot or similar if you wish to override my wishes, in much the same way as you could record a phone call, but the onus is on you. Hopefully you stored my confidential data somewhere secure and GDPR compliant, and not left a copy in your mailbox as a lawsuit waiting to happen. And if I protect emails this way that I would be happy for you to archive, then I'm an idiot.
