Description

It would be great to give the user a bit more control about how long the app/client will store cached media files that were downloaded at some point from remote Rocket.Chat servers.

Additionally an option to pro-actively clear the cache completely would be nice. (Will be added with #1660 )

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by locating the React Native media-download cache handling and determine where a user-facing cache-duration setting would be configured; done means remote media follows that setting while the existing cache-clear work remains covered by #1660.
