I received an email stating the following:

Your group has been transferred

Tuesday, January 23, 2018, 12:40:55? (Tue, 23 Jan 2018 12:40:55 -0500)

My question is why did it not transfer any of the files over?

0 files were transferred

Thank you for the help

Pamela,

My question is why did it not transfer any of the files over?

Probably the copying software couldn't access any of the group's files.

That could be a result of the current rash of outages in Y!Groups - Files in particular is often mentioned as missing. Recently I couldn't access the Files section of Y!GMF, but today I can.

I've also read in Y!GMF that the transfer agent seems to have trouble retrieving files that are inside folders (rather than being on the main Files page itself).

If the files are particularly valuable to the group you might reply to the message, or forward it to support, and ask if another attempt might be made to retrieve them once Y!Groups stabilizes.

"If the files are particularly valuable to the group you might reply to the message, or forward it to support, and ask if another attempt might be made to retrieve them once Y!Groups stabilizes."

Or you could do what I did, and download the files to your computer from Y, then upload them to your group Files on G. It's tedious work, but I got the job done.

Thanks for the replies. I will download them and upload to the group, which brings up another question. Is it possible to somehow keep the original uploaders name as the person that uploaded the file? Tried it with one and it put my ID as Uploaded By.

This was a request in beta six months ago. ()

After my groups were transferred it became apparent there were a number of photos that were way larger than they should be. I would like to be able to resample them down in size without changing ownership. The Phots and Files areas both need to be reorganized as well, but there's no way for an owner or moderator to do that without assuming ownership of the file in question. I see this as a housekeeping issue, but it doesn't seem to be important enough to generate much response from others.
