Jim:
As owner let me answer that.? When these groups were ported over
from Yahoo that is how they were on yahoo due to yahoo file storage
restrictions.? All the porting to groups io was done automatically
once the requests were made to move the groups and whatever was in
the yahoo group got moved over to the corresponding groups io
group.? The photos group was set up to allow larger photos to be
posted to yahoo and not take up the limited storage space yahoo had
which was filling up at the time.
It has worked for now and I am not interested in trying to
consolidate everything into one group.? In older messages there are
some references to files or photos posted in the auxiliary groups
and discussions about them.

Ok, I know this an administrative question and probably
should just be directed at the moderators.
?
I think the extra groups for Photos/Files are not needed, as
I see the groups.io allowing 1 Gigabyte of storage space for a
free group, and those three other groups have about 80 Megabytes
of space between files and photos, can't they all be combined
and moved to this group or the small-layout-design-photos group?
Even that one only has 301 megabytes of storage used.
?
Seems very counter productive to have 5 groups to look
through for ideas.
