Which size plan?

 

I have a Yahoo group that I want to get transferred to groups.io. There are various options here providing different amounts of disk space, and I am not sure which one I need.

Is there any way to find out how much disk space is being used in a Yahoo group now? What happens if a group is transferred and it needs more space than signed up for?
 

David,

The Files usage is shown at the bottom of the page. Despite the "infinite scroll", there is a bottom!

For the Photos & Attachments usage (total) they got wiser, it is shown at the top of the Albums tab:

That's the sum of Photos and Attachments, which share the 100 GB allocation.

What happens if a group is transferred and it needs more space than signed up for?
?
In much quieter times, the Transfer agent put my transfer on hold after the export (in what is now known as Stage 3, though I don't think there was an explicit queue back then) and sent me an email suggesting that I change my group's Max Size In Photos Section setting to reduce the resolution of the files (and hence the storage requirement). I selected 1024x1024 and that brought the size from 4.7 GB to about 0.5 GB - turns out that many members' snapshots were straight out of their high Megapixel cameras, taking a lot of storage unnecessarily.

Whether that degree of "personal touch" would be applied during these high-stress times I don't know, but it is possible - after Stage 2 there's not as much need to panic. The photos would have been exported from Yahoo at whatever resolution Yahoo was holding.

I should note that for one of my groups the total shown by Yahoo was very wrong - showing 132 MB instead of the multiple GB actually contained. I never did figure out why, but it seemed to have excluded several whole albums, possibly albums created after the Neo re-design.

Hence, Your Mileage May Vary.

Hi David,

I have used PG Offline to download all the group content.

This makes sense anyway to have a backup.

After doing so you can check the folders if everything is there.

You can then also check the size of the pictures, files and so on.

Ok, thank you. One of my groups has 463MB of attachments, so should fit into the free category after the first year.

Does the groups.io transfer take attachments across as well as files and photos?

Just would not want it to stop the transfer half-done when it ran out of disk space.

No. See?/yahootransfer, "What We Transfer."
