WRB,

Is it feasible to have an owner option that all “attachments” case to
exist after a certain period automatically disappear (use no storage)”

Sure, select "Delete Old Attachments" in the "Storage Limit Reached" control, at the bottom of the Message Policies panel of your group's Settings page.
/helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/customizing-group-settings/message-policy-settings

This deletion isn't after a specific time, but operates periodically each time your group's storage approaches exhaustion.

It would put the onus on group owners to otherwise organize and
archive those of lasting value, ...

That's one of the unfortunate omissions in this mechanism. Generally there is no easy (one click, or few clicks) way to mark or move attachments which are valuable so that they are excluded from automatic deletion.

Instead you must download them and upload them to somewhere else. And if you're managing a newer (non-legacy enabled) Basic group that somewhere else will need to be cloud storage outside of the group, or re-posted attached to a new message.

BMaverick,

Not sure where to find the message post totals, ...

There are no totals for the message text, that isn't counted against your group's storage.

Except for these parts of messages, which do count:

Attachments: 48 MB - 4% of 1GB [View Attachments]
Photos: 310 kB - 0% of 1GB

JCo,

[Edited Message Follows]
[Reason: Took out identifying words - so personal info won't be
available through Google, etc]

I went through and deleted the prior revisions. I'm not sure the web crawlers can access them, but I'm not sure they can't either.

Note: "In the archive, a blue Edited () badge appears next to the message, at the far right under the original timestamp. All group members can click that badge to see the message’s history and, if desired, compare revisions."

Just to add that internationalization and localization is hard. It seems simple on the surface, but the whole thing is fraught with edge cases and many tiny complications. As an example, consider languages which are written vertically instead of horizontally. Also, for the "Hello [Name]," consider languages and cultures which do not use the "first name, last name convention" either by reversing that order or by having more or fewer names.

Best,

Glenn

No, the space used for the logs is part of a shared pool space that Groups.io allocates and uses for all group activity logs so it doesn't count towards group storage; think of it as business "overhead" cost.? Plus the log info is not generated by the group members themselves directly, unlike for example photos or files.? Also, the amount of storage needed for the log entries (and for messages themselves for that matter, their text part only that is) is small considering because only text is stored, that's the reason messages do not count towards group storage.

Cheers,
Christos

There is only workarounds for that, but the English language portion of the message cannot be deleted.

The Welcome message is editable -?

The other option is to make the Members list visible to members. But that list includes email addresses, join date, and other info that most groups don't want to be shared. I would only recommend this in Restricted membership groups where the members know each other well and would be ok with sharing this info.

Shal

How do I go about doing that? My group is very restricted to only volunteers that are dog walkers at our shelter. It would be very helpful if everyone could see each others email addresses so that I don't have to be the go between for them.
Thank you!

These are the only things that take storage:

What Is Counted Towards The Storage Limits For My Group?

The following are counted towards the storage limits for your group:

• Files
• Photos
• Images in databases
• Images in wiki pages
• Message attachments

Messages themselves are not counted towards the storage limits, only any attachments.
