I am using the resumable upload function to Google Docs in App Engine.
I thought I would be able to use the new Files API to accomplish this. My question is how can I use the new Files API to grab a reference to a blob and cast to file in the following code snippet: MediaFileSource mediaFile = *new* MediaFileSource(file, contentType); The problem is the resumable upload expects a regular file type when creating a MediaFileSource and obviously App Engine does not allow reading from the users file system – will the new Files Api help with this? Any help hugely appreciated... Thanks, Ian. On Fri, Apr 1, 2011 at 6:42 PM, Ikai Lan (Google) <ika...@google.com> wrote: > Have you tried any tests yet?
