Hi Dave,
?
The free versions of IO groups, have limitations on storage. These limitations depend on the T&C's of when the group was established, the older groups have more free storage than younger groups. It was offered as an incentive to early adopters.
?
If folks include images or files in the body of their posts, it automatically gets included and stored, which counts towards the overall limit.
?
IO also reduces the resolution of images included in posts, but not when uploaded to images, and any messages that include previous posts with files or images can end up being copied multiple times.
?
By getting folks to deliberately upload to the files and photos area, only items that are likely to be of long term use get to be stored, and the more trivial items are excluded.
?
I hope this helps provide a bit of the background as to why the rules on various groups sometimes differ.
?
Regards,
?
