DeniseD,

I thought we were given the option to have it go through the group or
not but regardless it is going through the group.

It only goes to the group if the person who uploads the file checks the "Notify Members" box (and the group hasn't set #file-notice to moderated).

Moderators can control if and how they receive Moderator Notices of various types through controls on their Subscription page.

There's a summary of the Notification controls here:

(the Wiki is public, no logon or membership required)
