There is a checkbox of what you want transferred. See the screenshot on this page. /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups Just be sure to check off in Group Admin, Settings what you want to happen with old attachments if you are over storage. Remember that messages don't count towards storage. Just get going or you might miss the boat! That wiki page (above) also says: Assess Group Storage Needs
There are limits to how much storage your group is allowed under the Basic (free) plan...see /static/pricing for details. Transfers by the transfer agent require at least Premium account for a full year. With that account level you are not allowed to have more than 10 GB of storage in use for Files and Photos.

If your Yahoo group contains more than 10 GB of files and photos, the transfer agent will stop the transfer at that point and send you an email asking what you want to do. This can result in delays and confusion, especially if the inquiry lands in your spam folder. It's usually better to take measures to mitigate this ahead of time; for example, you can set up your group to downscale oversize images, and this can be used to reduce your storage needs during the transfer itself. Limiting images to -- say -- 1024 pixels in the long dimension can significantly reduce your storage footprint while being more than adequate for viewing online.
