What are the options?

'Thanks for sharing the link from Yahoo. I’m amazed that Yahoo didn’t send emails to the Groups Owners, given the drop dead date of Oct 21 to upload files. More concerning is the drop dead date when ALL of SafariGroups’ attachments, and years of valuable information will just be deleted! That’s just unfathomable that Yahoo could do this to all the people who have been utilizing this platform.
I will contribute to pay for another platform and move our files. With this short timeframe, we may need to “hire” some help too??

'I am not surprised by this. Though the lack of consideration to their timetable is disturbing. Once upon a time Yahoo had a "My Garage" feature where I had nearly 20 years of my personal maintenance records stored on the various vehicles I've owned and maintained. Notes ranging from large projects to the oil changes on motorcycles, coach,...basically all my fossil fuel burning rubber tired mounted machines...and they just decided to delete it one day! No notification, no nothing! My bad for not keeping a personal file and backing it up to a hard drive. I do find this to be a piss pour business decision on their part though. Since we typically all have to view the ads they populate on their site when we go here to review materials. There are other players in this game, but to back up some 20 years of information during a one week schedule may be a bit much.
Has anyone considered a divide and concur plan of action? I'd assume the information will fit on a terabyte or less of digital space? Perhaps a group of us can download certain portions and house until another open format is found to house the entirety of years of information?
