Our group is only on the basic allowance for storage. I have no idea what would be a decent size to resize photos? in photo section so that they take up less space but are a reasonable size to see. Any suggestions?
Also, if I set it at strip attachments in emails will that just delete the attachment but let the post through?
Thank you for helping this dinosaur ;-)?

Lynne -- I've found that downsizing photos to 1024px in the longest dimension is more than adequate for viewing online. Some groups use even smaller than that.

Those with a real need to share print-quality images should be encouraged to upload their photos to cloud storage (Google Drive or some such) and send a link instead.

Also, if I set it at strip attachments in emails will that just delete the attachment but let the post through?

Exactly right.

What I don't know is whether anything is added to the message body to notify anyone that it once contained an attachment and why it was removed. Probably not.

Lynne,

? I have transferred 19 lists since January 2018, all of them I set the max image size to 1024 x 1024 pixels.? This provides a full height image on my 32" monitors.

The last list I transferred went from 3 GB photo storage on YG to 500MB? on groups.io, 75 -80% reduced storage has been typical; you should be able to store about 10,000 images

on a free list if you select the same max image size for photos, files, messages, etc...

Keep in mind that when you click on a photo online, it will fill the screen, regardless of the saved size.? If you then click on Download beneath it, it will show you the size that it's saved at and what will be downloaded.

Thank you, Bruce. If we start using too much space I'll transfer photos to Google photos.?

I'll just let everyone know that they can't send attachments.
Lynne

Thanks, Ken. 10,000 images will be more than enough

Lynne; I am going to approach your query on the basis of a strict interpretation of what you asked. You referred to resize photos in photo section, and it has to be pointed out that changing the "resize" settings for photo uploads has no impact on the size of photos that have already been uploaded. They remain occupying exactly the same amount of storage as they did before the change was made.

There is a way around this, which while not difficult is very time consuming to do properly. To resize an existing overlarge photo it has to be downloaded, and then uploaded again with the new resizing setting. The catch is that in so doing the original attribution of the photo to whoever originally uploaded it is lost and it becomes attributed to whoever downloaded and then uploaded it again; it is possible to reassign it to its originator but that is the stage that can be extremely time - consuming and tedious.

Unless I have missed something (never impossible!) other respondents have provided answers that are correct for new uploads but did not address the issue of existing material.

Does setting a size restriction resize photos that are already in the photo section, or only new uploads?

Er... NO. See the previous message in this thread, posted less than 90 minutes ago.

I'm on digest, I hadn't spotted your reply.

Is there really no way to do a bulk resize operation?

I'm a relatively new co-owner (one of the original owners has moved on) of a group that was started almost 7 years ago, and as a result of recently hitting the storage limit I've realized that no one had ever set up a resize for images.

I'd love to be able to do a resize on all images, but clearly the steps Chris outlined earlier would be prohibitive.

No, or at least not one that's been found.? Right now, the only option is to download, resize, upload, delete original.? You could assign ownership to the original poster between the last 2 steps, but that could take some time

What a shame.? Even a "resize" button in the Edit dialog would make doing the job manually at least feel tractable.

Thanks for the bad news.? ;-)

Probably a good suggestion for beta once the dust has settled from the Great Migration, because I suspect that there would be quite a few group owners & moderators who would want to use such a capability.
