This looks like it might be an answer to the question I have - it seemed like you HAD to get a Google Apps account (with additional costs) in order to simply get SSL for an application I want to deploy on Google App Engine - but it sounds like you are suggesting an alternative method here which is to map the custom domain in the app engine console itself, skipping the Google Apps part of the process? Additionally, we want to allow certain people or groups from our organization to have access to the cloud storage linked to the account that is hosting the google app engine web application. Google Apps has the concept of multiple emails per account but you pay for them individually - how would we do this skipping the Google Apps thing and just using the Google App Engine method you mentioned - I suppose we would just need to add certain email accounts to the privileges of our cloud storage buckets? Do they have to be gmail addresses?
Thanks for your help!!
