Uploading files to Groups.io
#howtoguide
Hello, I am new to Groups.io and have tried to transfer our group from Yahoo with no luck.? I have been trying to upload files to the "Files" section of Groups.io and find that it will upload but when the link is clicked it attempts to go to my computer to locate the file??? How can I get the file to remain on the Server, in other words copy it to the Server from which other members of the group can access?
I did ask the Groups.io support but they referred me to this group.? I did raise this question here a week or so ago but have not found a response. Your assistance, suggestions (be nice) would be appreciated:).? Thank you.? Lola Radnoti, from "enjoyMichaelStrongStampsgroup". |
Lola,
Hello, I am new to Groups.io and have tried to transfer our group from Yahoo with no luck.? I have been trying to upload files to the "Files" section of Groups.io and find that it will upload but when the link is clicked it attempts to go to my computer to locate the file?? It is probably prompting you to download the file to your computer. Depending on file type, and the browser and its settings the file might not open directly in the browser but require it to be downloaded to your computer first. ?How can I get the file to remain on the Server, in other words copy it to the Server from which other members of the group can access? If the file is showing in the group's lists of files, with its name as a link, then it is stored at Groups.io, and your other members can access it from the file list. See below: I did ask the Groups.io support but they referred me to this group.? I did raise this question here a week or so ago but have not found a response. Hmm, I don't see any other postings from you in this group, perhaps there's a different "here", or you used a different email address to log in? No matter, hopefully this clears things up for you. As an aside, why not have the transfer agent copy your Y!Group''s files directly into your Groups.io group so that you don't need to upload them?

Thank you Shal for your response.? The screen print you show is what I had, I was uploading "Browse..."? it uploaded no problem.? However, when I clicked on the name of the document in your screen shot, it went back to where it came from and you should not have to save a document you already uploaded from the same place. As for getting the Transfer agent to transfer, nada, I asked them a couple of times and then got the response that they could not transfer.? So now I am left with trying to figure out how I can get the crucial info for the members done before I even consider further documents/file uploads.? I do have a fair amount of computer knowledge but not programming stuff and it is programming that doesn't seem to be working with Groups I think.? Same with Yahoo perhaps?

you should not have to save a document you already uploaded If you have a default application set up in your browser for specific file types, the application should open with the file loaded.? About the only file types I can think of that usually don't need to be specifically set up are TXT and PDF.? Nearly anything else will require you to download so you can open it in the application of your choice on your computer.
