With my group up against the free storage limit, I find a lot of duplicate photos stored
due to a reply to a message that had a photo attached.
This is a common problem. See?
/g/GroupManagersForum/topic/32652796?for a recent discussion.
I find no way to avoid including the photo when replying, but I'm sure there is a way.
Using the GIO web interface, simply do not quote that portion of the original message.?Using your email client, the methods differ widely...there is no single answer.?
I can always delete the duplicates periodically but it is time consuming.
How to avoid storing the duplicates?
Groups.io has no way to determine if an incoming photo was sent intentionally or inadvertently. Even a dupe can be intentional.
You could put all messages with attachments on moderation (Admin>Settings>Message Formatting>Attachments) and delete any dupes before they post. Otherwise, there is no way to keep this from happening, and you will have to continue to clean things up after the fact.
