Frances mentions the concept of repurposing Basic (Free, pre 2020) lists.? I see that as having considerably value compared to deletion.? New Basic lists

is no enthusiasm for more tools to administrate photo directories.? When there is a need for tools to delete old photos.? (e.g. bulk deletions such as by photo album name, creation date, owner, etc...) are useful for most lists, just not Basic lists trying to stay under 1 GB free image storage. (etc.)

This is a common complaint for groups at all levels, and I believe many of us would like to see tools of this kind become available to us.

One list I joined encouraged storage of images by message instead of photo Album creation.? They now have 1GB of e-male images, cannot store in photo albums, and cannot do a bulk delete of old e-mail images.?
There is a "Storage Limit Reached" setting that will automatically delete old attachments to get this group back under quota.?/helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/customizing-group-settings/message-policy-settings?

Worse the e-mail photo albums contain multiples of images in replies to the first message.? While images in messages
can be prevented in settings as well as size; mistakes made cannot be later corrected.? How about a one time only resize of the e-mail photo album image to a smaller size, unlimited resized to 488 pixels could save some legacy lists.
This and other suggestions need to be posted to?. Groups.io management does not monitor GMF.?
?
Last year if upgraded, a Basic legacy list of nearly 2000 subscribers to Premium before a price increase would cost nearly $900,? It was clear that my list had become a major free loader getting a free service valued at current pricing at nearly $900.? we were only using 25% of the 1 GB image capacity.? The upgrade had no benefit to subscribers;?Long term it may make groups.io a litter stronger financially by one less free loader (etc).
I believe it's generally understood that the pricing structure implemented on August 24, 2020 may have created an underground economy in legacy-enabled Basic groups. Mark is no fool and I'm sure he figured all of that in when he made the change.?
