Yes. See?/static/googletransfer

Essentially, only the subscribers can be transferred, not any messages; and the entire process is done through emails to support.

Do I have to say anything special during the transfer request?

You have to create the subgroup first. Then it appears that you need only provide the location of the target subgroup and a cloud link to the file containing the prospective member list.

Remember that if you transfer people to a subgroup, they are also added to the main group. There is no provision to have subgroup members who are not subscribed to the main group.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Shouldn't be a problem, /static/googletransfer? And it doesn't look like there's a charge for Google groups (yet?)? Remember "Due to a bug in Google Groups, we are unable to transfer the archives for your group."

A search of the archives didn't find anything on this, forgive me if I missed it.

Right now, we have a main group with a subgroup. What we would like to do is transfer an existing Google group and make it a second subgroup of the main group.

Is this possible? Do I have to say anything special during the transfer request?

Thanks,

Glenn

Can I get photos attached to a message to automatically go to a file on the Photos page?

Any photos attached to a message that are at least 100 pixels in the shortest dimension will automatically appear in the Emailed Photos folder (unless you disable photo albums altogether).

Embedded photos may or may not, depending on how they are embedded.

I saw an old post mentioning a limit of 1000 members but that's not in your wiki and not in your transfer instructions.

The limits you are referring to was for a free Yahoo transfer (pre-February). Now that all transfers require the Premium plan, there is no such limit that I'm aware of.

Su -- There is no mechanism within the web interface that would permit someone to upload/merge messages into an existing group message archive. Rumor has it that support has done this for others, using a file in Unix mbox format...but there has been no verifiable report of it happening for at least two years.?

Frankly, it seems unlikely that he would allow this kind of "back door" to the transfer process so that people can avoid paying the fee, but you never know. I suggest you contact support directly and report back here on what kind of response you get so we can share it with others.?

Good luck,
Bruce

Not that I'm aware of. I know there was at least one group that transferred over 10,000 members a few years ago.

To clarify, that's after one year of premium service.? You can actually change it any time, but it won't take effect until your current term expires.? Many folks did (and still do) upgrade to premium for a month now and then for specific tasks.

Larry -- It is a requirement that, before you do a transfer, you pay for one year of Premium ($110). After that, you may downgrade.

If you don't want your files/photos/messages transferred, or are willing to do it manually yourself, you can still initiate a new group on the Basic plan and not pay anything.

It has been a while since I checked how to move Yahoo Groups but I thought with such small groups and limited storage the groups.io service was free.

The transfer process is not fully automated and takes some manpower. At one point it was free, but the volume of transfers eventually reached the point that groups.io management could no longer continue doing that much work without any compensation.

The price of procrastination, I guess.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

I doubt that it has anything to do with the length.

If your group has public archives, the domain information is automatically stripped from the online message archive. This is to keep spammers and bots from mining your public messages for valid email addresses.

The exception is any post with the groups.io domain, in which case it is retained.

If absolutely necessary, try posting it like this:? myemail(at)domain(dot)net [or something to that effect]. I've found that most human beings are sharp enough to figure out what that really means, while (hopefully) the bots might struggle with it a little bit.

I have just joined this forum. I own two long-standing Restricted Yahoo Groups with about 100 members each and well under 1 GB of pictures and files.

With the recent changes in Yahoo Groups I want to move these groups to groups.io, including the membership, pictures and files now on the Yahoo Group. When I just read the instructions to do this, I note groups.io now "ask that you sign up for the Premium Yearly plan."

It that Premium Plan a request or a requirement for such small groups?

It has been a while since I checked how to move Yahoo Groups but I thought with such small groups and limited storage the groups.io service was free.

ABCGROUPLISTCOORDINATOR@...

This is not my real email address above - just want to see if it get truncated going to you, too.? ?It is used in full in other places.

Hi again,

I'm looking at the messages in our Yahoo groups that we'll need to either transfer over here or else lose the archives. Many of them don't need to be saved. If I download them in Mbox format, my understanding is that I can open them with Thunderbird (my usual email client) and delete out the cruft and then re-export.

Can I then upload the resulting Mbox file into my group here at Groups.io rather than do a complete transfer? Or is that something that only [email protected] can do? And is there a fee for that?

Thanks,
Su

Thank you for the data. I'm reading more on group.io

Hi...I'm a new member, but long-time owner/moderator.? On io, I own the MMarioKKnits group. MMario (Leo Pola, knitting designer) passed away late last year, shocking us all. Now, I'm concerned that this will be the only place that many of his designs - some as yet unknit-will be available.

I'd like to backup our Files section to an external drive, but the only way I can see to do that is one file at a time. This would be a Herculean task; MMario was very prolific. Is there a way about which I don't know, that I may backup all our files at once?

I should add, I have continued ownership of the group that I established with him with his family's full approval.

TIA,
Diana Cooper
