Description
Any media that is posted in a group, can't load after couple of days. Please fix this.
Possible solution to this, is making the media files sync across the members who already have cached the video or image in their client making it possible for other members to be able to download the media after the file expires in the server.
Losing media in just 2 days is horrible, you can't see what people posted if you don't use simplex more than 2 days. This is really wrong, hope it gets fixed soon.

Research direction
The issue does not identify files, tests, or entry points. Begin by tracing group media expiration and client-side caching, then determine how cached media could be synchronized between members. Done should mean group videos and images remain downloadable after the current two-day server expiry.
