1. Is groups.io free?
Yes, for a basic account.?
2. How do I move my messages, photos, etc. to 开云体育?
You must subscribe to Premium for 1 year and use the Transfer Agent if you want the 开云体育 transfer agent to move your Yahoo group for you.
3. How much does it cost for a premium account?
The cost is $110 USD per year for a Premium account. This allows you to use the groups.io transfer agent. You can change back to Basic after the year if you wish.
4. What gets transferred using the Transfer Agent?
开云体育 can transfer message archives (without attachments, however), photos, files, links and databases. Calendar entries are not copied at this time. Subscribers (members) are also transferred, maintaining ownership of each message and other group content.
5. How do I promote my group to Premium?
In Admin, choose +Upgrade
https://YOURGROUP.groups.io/g/main/billing
(substitute your group name)

8. What are my alternatives to paying for a premium account for a year?
Moving members:
? You can just use Premium for 1 month in order to upload a list of members (Direct Add). However everything else would need to be copied manually.
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Direct-Add-From-Yahoo
? You can download a csv file and open it in a spreadsheet like Excel, copy the column and then upload it to groups.io invitation.
? Send a message to your YahooGroups members on YahooGroups inviting them to join your new home. Include the URL. Or tell them to send a blank email to [GROUPNAME][email protected] ?substituting the real group name for GROUPNAME.
Moving message archive, photos, etc.
? There are a few third-party solutions to that, including PG Offline, a chrome browser app, and ModTools.?
??The problem is what to do with the message archive once downloaded; as there is really no good way to re-upload it to groups.io, to re-link individual messages to their owners, or to provide online message search capability.
??An option is simply to print the collection of old messages to a PDF file; at which point you can upload that to the files area of your group. That will give you something, even if it isn't conveniently indexed and searchable.
Photos and files: You'd need to move them manually if you're not paying for a transfer. ?It can be time consuming and "ownership" of all the items will be in your name. ?If the person that originally uploaded a picture is on the new group, you can manually assign ownership to them (if you know who it was.) ?There's currently not a similar function for Files.

11. How do I stop people posting on Yahoo Groups after the transfer?
Assuming you have already sent the group a notice of intent to transfer, you only need follow up with those who didn't get the message. The easiest way is to put the entire group on moderation. Or in the YahooGroup management settings, you can set it so that nobody can post to the group.
See /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups#Y21group-after-the-transfer for details.
