What can they?be used for? What to others use the files section for?

?

When the files are transferred from the YGroup............

They?aren't sent out to the group.

The group can't read them from the site. They have to save them to their computer in order to read them.

They can't be updated or changed.

New Files - words cannot be added.

You only get the shell - name of file and short description area. No place to write what the file should say.

?

The only thing they can be used for is the owner/moderator can open them. Change them. Save the changes and then copy and paste them to become a MEMBER NOTIFICATION.

?

Once that is done, really the only thing I can see is the files can be deleted.

--------------------------------------------

I really don?t understand what you are talking about. In my group the files are our treasure. We have all our research and other scientific information stored in our files in form of pdfs, word and text documents. Every member has access to them. Opening them via word or other text programs they are readable to everyone. They can be printed.

The files feature is the reason why I am not with google groups or any other forum but with groups.io. Files to me is the most valuable feature of all. And I am thankful to Mark?s that his transfer facility was able to move almost all of them from yahoo to groups.io.
