Editing or updating files transferred from YahooGroups


 

1,892 (!) files from our old YahooGroup were transferred yesterday.? Unfortunately, we cannot edit any of them.? We can update the file's (short) text description, but cannot find a way to edit the body of the file itself.?? The vast majority of the files are plain text.

1) Is there any way to edit the text of a file in group.io, and 2) If not able to directly edit a file, is there a way to replace the document with a newer version upload, so that instead of creating a new file and deleting the old, you can simply update the existing file?

Further, in some of the bodies of the plain text files we see only a line like this below, no plain text at all.? Can anyone advise?? I couldn't find an answer in the Help pages or FAQ.

Thank you,

--Paula

There is no online editor for files, you have to download to edit.? Then you have to delete the existing file before uploading the changed file unless you change the file name.? Duplicate file names aren't allowed.? It will look like it's uploading, then give an error message.? There are changes planned according to the TODO list, but no time frame.

I suspect those files with the weird content were some that couldn't be copied due to a Y! error.? Only Mark would know for sure.

Paula,

1) Is there any way to edit the text of a file in group.io, ...
As Duane said, no. But if the file is something you'll want to update on an ongoing basis you might want to use the group's wiki instead of a file. Wiki pages are edited with an interface that is very similar to message composition.
