  web2py is supposed to store uploaded files in the datastore -- are you

In web2py a Field(...,'upload') makes both a StringProperty and a
BlobProperty. The filename goes in one and the data in the other.
I think BlobProperty has a 10MB limitation but I am not sure. These
numbers change as GAE evolves.

Shark,

the upload field will work (though you might have to pass the flag to tell 
it to store the file in the DB).  it's been a while since i have used that 
on GAE.

if your uploaded file will be larger than 1MB (the current limit for blob 
fields assuming the online docs here are correct 
http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/datastore/datamodeling.html#Property_Classes_and_Types),
 
then you can try storing in the blobstore:
