When I transferred my largest group, Mark sent me an email and asked me if I wanted to keep the photos as they were, have him resample them down in size, or go premium. I went premium for a number of reasons, but I could have given approval to have him resample them so none were larger than 1024 x 1024. That would have dropped the total size from 1.7 Gb down to 413 Mb and easily have given us all the images at a size equivalent to the largest image that would fit on a single screen. That may be the solution to your situation, but not knowing how much space photos currently take up, that's not an absolute answer. When Mark ran the transfer he gave me the options, and knowing then what could be done made the solution pretty simple. That may be the best way for you to proceed. Dano ----- Original Message -----
I have a question - feeling it is time to transfer my Yahoo Groups over to Groups.IO, now, as it appears that Yahoo Groups has finally had the last nail placed in the coffin with the advent of true zero support. So, I have a couple of groups that have been in existence for about 8 years or more, and the Photos sections have become quite large. I am trying to keep my groups under the free size limit, as I don't have any way to charge my list members for a larger option. Is there any way I can reduce the number of photos that will transfer across? Or, after the transfer, is there a way I can delete or remove older photo albums? Both groups have photo albums that are set up by the month/year, so it is relatively easy to figure out which photo folders are the oldest, and just delete those older year's photo albums. Any suggestions would be very welcome. -- Patty S. |
