whoops, little typo: "I would not try" should be "I would try". there's no limit on the number of blobs you can store but you will hit the storage quota in the preview. I have thousands in there right now for testing purposes
It might be cheaper to store them on Amazon S3 but I have not worked out the difference in price (both charge for storage, bandwidth and some form of cpu activity, in S3 it;s the GET/PUT costs). I'm going to wait until GAE is out of preview before really comparing the cost brian On Sep 2, 12:48 pm, Fred <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Brian, > > > personally, i would not try the datastore method first.
