Niphlod is correct - no storing on the filesystem. datastore or blobstore to store your uploaded files on GAE. On Saturday, November 23, 2013 11:24:31 AM UTC-8, Niphlod wrote: > > If I'm not mistaken, GAE filesystem is not writable your only option > is to store the file into the database >

OK, but the manual (page 563, 5th ed) says: On Google App Engine, files are stored by default in the database without > the need to define an uploadfield, since one is created by default. Which sounds like my Sqllite-using app which has upload fields can handle uploading files w/o modification

Thanks for the hint. I think, at the core it is not the problem to have the pictures stored in the db, I just try to avoid using the download function since it consumes a lot of processing load. Maybe, I am on a wrong way conceptually and should find another way to cache them. Thanks - Stephan
