The extension is from YAHOO, not Groups.io. If you have already downloaded all the files you want from your Yahoo groups this extension doesn't do anything for you. It is only of use to people who haven't gotten the data from their Yahoo groups yet. It gives them an extra month to do so.
If you have your files, etc. and want to move them to a Groups.io group you have to do it yourself. You can find info on the process at

/Dear Group Moderators and Members,/
/In recent weeks, we communicated the latest changes to Yahoo Groups and explained how to request a download of any content you¡¯ve previously posted to the platform. Some Groups users asked us for more time, and in response to these requests, we have decided to extend the deadline <>. Groups users now have until*Friday, January 31, 2020 at 11:59pm PST* to submit a request for their data. /
/We have now taken down all user content from the Yahoo Groups website. However, we will continue to accept users¡¯ requests for their data until January 31, 2020, and will ensure these have been fulfilled prior to deleting the data. /
/For additional support, users can email YahooGroupsEscalations@... and our team will troubleshoot any issues. /
/Best,/
/The Yahoo Groups team/
