There is space but according to the Google help a Group has only 100MB of storage but we've already used 1.3GB on my iDisk. We can buy more storage for Google apps or Google Docs but it says that "Google storage is for Google Accounts only and not compatible with Google Apps for your domain accounts." I don't know whether this applies to us and our Groups storage as I find the whole Google Apps/Groups/Docs setup something I'm not au fait with and don't want to spend ages wading through their help pages unless its really necessary.
The trouble is that I'd probably have to be administrator and I'm trying to step back a bit from that so that others can use it too and pop stuff in it if possible.
