Re: [ranchos] Request for Additional File Space

[Smiley <smileysway2@...>]

...Joseph...on our personal family websites, we have had this very same problem.  Our solution was to cut back on photos.  If someone had a photo of interest to others, then the photo would be emailed to the person requesting the photo.  Our family sites (9) are on the myfamily.com servers.  We either buy more space or start editing the photos & graphics sections. I'm not for sure if this would be the same on yahoo.  All I know is once we do "cleaning" of all the files, then we always have plenty of space.  Our one site has absolutely no photos whatsoever, only notations that they are available, and we have had the same 100mb ($29.95) since it's creation in 2001.  Just thought I'd let you know our solution so I will go in and edit out my photos now.  Thanks for allowing me the opportunity to place my file on your site...

I wrote this email to Yahoo asking about info on purchasing additional "File" space. It seems that they don't have that option available. We are going to have to think about some near term solutions to our dwindling file space. We are currently at 77% of our 20 mb available on Ranchos and 82% of Ranchos2. So we still have a little room to breathe but if we suddenly get everyone that is suppose to turn in their genealogies to do it we might be right on the edge of me having to reject submissions.

thanks,

Hello, 

Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Groups.

There are storage limits within the Photos and Files area of Yahoo! 
Groups.

Photos: Each group has 30 megabytes (MB) of storage in the Photos area, 
as noted in that area of the group. Depending on the size (resolution) 
of your images, that 30MB could consist several hundred images, or only 
a few. There is also a maximum file size limit of 5MB. If you attempt to
upload more than 30MB total or any photo larger than 5MB to your group, 
you will get an error.

Files: Each group has 20MB of storage in the Files area, as noted in 
that area of the group. You can upload a high number of small files, or 
a few large files, as long as you use no more than 20MB total storage. 
There is also a maximum file size limit of 5MB. If you attempt to upload
more than 20MB total or any file larger than 5MB to your group, you will
get an error.

If you exceed the maximum storage limits for either feature, and still 
want to add more content, you may either delete existing files/photos to
make room for new ones, or use the Links feature to point to 
files/photos stored on locations outside of your group, such as a web 
page, Yahoo! Briefcase or Yahoo! Photos. 

Unfortunately, purchasing additional photo storage within Yahoo! Groups 
is not available at this time. We apologize if this has caused you any 
inconvenience. 

Should you have other inquiries, please feel free to write again and 
we'll be more than happy to assist you.

Thank you again for contacting Yahoo! Customer Care.

Regards,

Sam

 I'm running out of file space and would 
like to explore options for purchasing 
additional space. Can you provide this 
information? Or suggest where I can put 
files that my group members can 
securely access?
