I'm migrating our discussion group from Yahoo to Groups.IO (for obvious reasons). I have sent a notice to our membership and we plan to do the migration at the end of this month. My question involves migration and group size/pricing. We are a non-profit organization and have no problem paying for Premium service if necessary, but are unsure as to whether we really need it.

At this time we have 66 MB of files and 589 of uploaded photos in the Yahoo group. I know that attachments are not migrated and messages don't count against our allotment. So at this time is appears that we don't need to upgrade; but that could change, and we do have a vested interest in supporting this service and helping to ensure the long-term solvency of groups.io.

My questions: If we don't upgrade to Premium beforehand, what files will get discarded during migration? Does groups.io notify you when you go over your storage limitation and provide a "grace period" for you to do something about it before they begin to throw out your files and photos?

Thanks in advance for any and all replies.

Bruce,

My questions: If we don't upgrade to Premium beforehand, what files
will get discarded during migration?

None.

This happened to me in transferring one of my groups. The transfer agent suspended the copy action and emailed me to ask what to do. In my case it turned out to be an excess of photos (1.7 GB) and the solution was to turn on resizing, selecting a 2000 x 2000 max was sufficient to bring them under 0.75 GB.

Does groups.io notify you when you go over your storage limitation and
provide a "grace period" for you to do something about it before they
begin to throw out your files and photos?

When you're at quota I believe you are prevented from adding more rather than having anything automatically deleted. The exception is message attachments, there's a group option to delete oldest instead of rejecting the new messages.
