It should be fixed now. Thanks, Mark

Yes, comparison is apples and oranges. Google Groups has no storage assigned to the group.  ZERO.  The only storage is an individual member’s Google Drive storage capacity of 15 GB from which one

So you are asking that I bump the storage for the free version to 15 gigs in the hopes of luring a group to come over that, 1) has never paid for service before, and 2) does not see the advantages of

Some time ago quite a lot of "Freecycle" groups in UK decided they wanted to break away from the parent organisation. Presumably to avoid such legal issues, they call themselves "Frregle" instead of
