The appengine gcs client: https://code.google.com/p/appengine-gcs-client/ has no size restriction. If you want to upload to/from appengine it is the prefered solution. If you want users to upload and download externally the prefered solution is to use createUploadUrl: https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/javadoc/com/google/appengine/api/blobstore/BlobstoreService#createUploadUrl(java.lang.String, com.google.appengine.api.blobstore.UploadOptions) for uploading data and serve: https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/javadoc/com/google/appengine/api/blobstore/BlobstoreService#serve(com.google.appengine.api.blobstore.BlobKey, HttpServletResponse) for download.
The advantage of createUploadUrl and serve over having the user post and get from the bucket directly (Which of course works) is that it allows your application to have more control as you can run code in response to each request which lets you do things like custom permissions, logging, rate limiting etc. On Wed, Nov 6, 2013 at 5:59 AM, Vinny P <vinny...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Tue, Nov 5, 2013 at 3:56 PM, Pushpinder Jaswal < > pushpinder.jas...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> I would like to know the best API and practices for this purpose, also >> how should I proceed in this scenario for example have a client to add >> objects through App Engine to cloud storage or directly add objects to >> cloud storage.
