I'm not sure what they mean here: "The Files API feature used here to write files to Blobstore has been deprecated and is going to be removed at some time in the future, in favor of writing files to Google Cloud Storage and using Blobstore to serve them"
I see the Blobstore API can be used to write to the Cloud Storage instead of the Blobstore. And as far as I understand, the FileService API was sitting on top of the Blobstore API. So I guess we could go a level down and use the Blobstore API to write to the Cloud Storage instead of the Blobstore, is that what you guys understand from that? That would be funny though, I mean, using the Blobstore API without the Blobstore On Wednesday, 7 August 2013 11:55:47 UTC+12, rdodev wrote: > > In the Blobstore documentation page, the file-like API used to have a > "(Experimental)" by the subheading.
