The files and photos haven¡¯t been lost (at least not so far on any of the Groups that I am a member of).? But sometimes you cannot display or in the case of files, download them.? That problem has been worse with photos than with files.
?
I know what you mean about some Owners just abandoning their Groups.? On one that I¡¯m a member of, we are about to lose 15 years worth of posts, questions and answers, and probably members.? We are moving somewhere, but I had to start a new Group and start trying to get the old members to move to it.? So far, only about 3% of the members of record have done so.? Which probably means what you think it means.?

On another one, we invited the Groups.io member, made it a Moderator, ?and sent the request email last Wednesday but so far, they haven¡¯t done anything that I can see.? The owners of the remaining 20 or so have so far done nothing AFAIK.

Yes
I reset the attachment feature to go out to members that receive emails from the group. But many complained that some attachments were large in size and took forever to load.
It was when the files and photos disappeared I had to make a decision to move my groups to Groups.IO
Worse part is the files come and go as well as the photos. Yesterday half of the photos in this group were gone. I did not check them today to see if they are back.
Some group owners did not know this was happening, that is why I sent and email to the group owners address on the homepage of this group.
But it is up to the group owner what they want to do.
Some groups the owners walked a way from the group and left the group without someone that could make the decision.
