Transfer of files from YahooGroups

 

In then Files section of my YahooGroup we use a lot of folders and some have a hierarchical structure with a root level and sub levels. Provided Yahoo works properly is it possible for the automatic transfer process to transfer all the files in such a structure?

It should, provided Y! is working and it won't overfill your storage.

I just went through this with many of my groups I transferred over from yahoo to IO. I found the first groups I had transferred I left the files in the folders. The folders were transferred over but were empty. The other groups that I was going to have transferred over I took all the files out of the folders and pasted then just in the files section. Now I had the files as well as empty folders in the yahoo group. When Group.IO Tech copied the files from the yahoo group over to Io group the files as well as the empty folders were copied over. In the New group I then just had to move the files back into the correct empty folder in the new group.

Hi Joe,

After reading your comment, I went back and looked at the group I transferred before Verizon/Yahoo started this last round of problems. All of my files transferred in their subfolders. I do remember looking at some of the files in one of my Verizon/Yahoo groups and having empty subfolders when the craziness was at its peak. Fortunately or unfortunately, all of my files appear to be intact in Yahoo so I think I'll restart transferring to Groups.io, while it may work. I have backed up all of my active groups using PG Offline, so if they don't transfer, I can upload them to Groups.io.

I know I have been non stop for a week now creating about 15 new groups in Groups.IO. I deleted many yahoo groups. Been with Yahoo since 2002, been through all the changes. And for them to leave us high and dry was enough for me.
