the free gig actually pertains to file atachmnts. So if you go over that it will remove older ones or you can.

Free 1 GB question ? #subscription

 

Hi all!

Quick question(s): if your group is on the ¡°free¡± plan, what happens when you reach the 1 GB limit (unlikely as that sounds [!])? ?If you WANT to stay on the free plan, would you have to delete certain (I would imagine it would be past topics/discussions) in order to free up more space (that is IF you don¡¯t want to partake in any of the paid plans/subscriptions)?

Thanks in advance!


Re: Newbie Here -- a [transfer] Question

Dan Robinson
 

Duane -- thanks for that.? My question now -- I have established the new group and set premium level.? Do I assume correctly that now that I have made a transfer request, Groups.io will follow through within ????? period of time to move files, photos, conversations etc?


Re: Newbie Here -- a [transfer] Question

 

I believe that to be true, Dan.? I had that same issue when I moved a Yahoo group to groups.io.? We only had about 25 members so inviting them all individually was not a great chore.? However transferring all the photos manually was a chore, as there were a great many.? However it did give me the opportunity to edit out the really old or irrelevant ones and save some space.? The process involved downloading the picture from Yahoo and uploading it to groups.io.? The download was a simple matter of clicking so I have all of the pictures locally but only the better ones went back up.? I've had no complaints.

HTH,
Peter

I am seeking to transfer a Yahoo group over to Groups.io??? I have already created the group at the free level, but see now
that a transfer requires at least a year at the premium level, which I am not sure members of the Yahoo group will be willing to
do.

Can someone clarify for me whether it is an absolute requirement now by Groups.io that premium status exist in order to
have Groups do a transfer?

Thanks

to which Shal replied I haven't tested this, but I doubt it.? If it worked I have to believe that someone would have mentioned it in GMF or beta by now.

I have conducted a test and Shal's doubts are correct. Setting Attachments to Strip rather than Allow makes the emailed photos section disappear from view, although the storage used by it remains on display in Photos.

Resetting Attachments to Allow results in the emailed photos section reappearing just as it was previously so that is not a method of clearing it out.

Shal; I used your test group for this, and I have left everything as it was previously. I note that the Activity Log is not entirely helpful; it merely records that a setting has been changed without any detail of what has been changed. Similarly undoing the change results in another (identical) entry saying that a setting has been changed.

Anita, and Shal,

You can get a list of the User Status by:
On left panel, go to Admin/Members/Download will give you a webpage *memberlist.csv* , which you can save somewhere memorable.
Import that into a spreadsheet, sort on the last column,
"User Status(0=Not Confirmed,1=Confirmed,2=Inactive,3=Bouncing,4=Bounced)
and check out the 3's and 4's

I hope that is clear enough.

OK,
Tony

Anita,

The messages? That's an interesting idea. You can of course look in your group's Members page for a list of the addresses (members) that have met the criteria for the Bouncing (blue B) or Bounced (red B) status.

If that's not possible, then I'd like to know how to get a count.

I'm not entirely certain how one would go about this. I think you'd have to visit each member's subscription page and collect the list of Recent Bounces. Totaling the number of entries in those lists will give you some kind of measure, but it is uncertain due to the word "Recent".

You might want to try and correlate which messages bounced when sent to which members; but I suspect that would turn out to be random.

In your experience, are the bounces consistent: once bounced? aways bounce?

No.

Email services reject message delivery for many different reasons. Some of the reasons are more or less permanent (that email address has been closed), others are explicitly transient (I'm too busy right now, try again later). The explicitly transient ones Groups.io handles automatically by retrying the delivery of that message to that member later. But eventually Groups.io will give up on those retries, and then it becomes recorded as a "bounce".

Re: Managing Files & Photos

 

Robert,


My group has run out of space for Files & Photos.

Have you selected Delete Old Attachments for the Out of Space control in the Message Policies section of your group's Settings page? Is that a viable choice for your group?

There are a couple of reasons it might not be suitable. First is that there is no mechanism (short of downloading and re-uploading) to protect useful content from auto-deletion - the babies go out with the bathwater. Second is that it does nothing about uploaded files or photos, only ones that arrive by email.


1) Is there any way to search/sort/filter the Photos by size, to maybe pick off some of the largest offenders?? I see where you can sort individual Files albums but size, but I can't find any such option for Photos

Not that I'm aware of.

A list view of a photo album, allowing one to sort by size and other columns would be a welcome addition. Or even just adding Size (storage) to the existing sort options.

2) Is it possible to delete or clear out the Emailed Photos album??

Not in bulk. You can delete them one by one in the Emailed Photos album, which causes the message to be marked as edited. You can also edit the message to delete its attachment(s).

There have been several discussions in about ways to handle the rampant duplication of attached images in particular. The only thing that has been implemented so far is that images with a longest dimension of 100 pixels or less won't be displayed there.

?
Alternatively, if I turn off the "allow attachments"? option for the group, then turn it back on, will it clear out that folder?

I haven't tested this, but I doubt it.? If it worked I have to believe that someone would have mentioned it in GMF or beta by now.

.
3) If I reduce the "max size in email" for Photos, will it auto-resize all the emailed photos that are there now?

No. A method for in-place resizing of stored images is also something that's been suggested in the beta list.

I have discovered the problem of not being able to sign in is being caused by the Google Chrome browser (Which I use all the time), as using the Microsoft Edge browser lets me sign in like normal. Chrome worked for me last night, but for some reason not today.

Not necessarily - just sending from the correct email address.

Do you have more than one email subscribed to groups.io and are on the one that isn't correct for that group?

Trouble Signing In

I¡¯m the owner and moderator of a group, and for some reason I cannot sign in this morning. I get this notice at the top of the screen ¡°That email address does not have a groups.io account.¡± Is there an update going on that is preventing me from signing in?

Re: searching messages

 

Win,

Could you please report this?
Bruce did, but I'd encourage you to report the details of your own experience to [email protected] so that Mark doesn't think it only affects members using the YYYY-MM-DD format.

It's probably worth reporting your Browser and OS as well, just in case those are somehow a factor.
