More info: - The google web console works well, only good for your local file uploads. - GSutil is a python command-line utility that can be run on a web hosting server (joyent etc) This means you can do server-server transfers! Way cool, especially when the servers are on a 100Mb backbone as many are. - The performance of gs and s3 seem similar, with gs faster uploading and simpler.

Both should stream after a short buffering pause. -- Owen On Jul 26, 2010, at 10:57 AM, Owen Densmore wrote: > I just got my invite from GS: > https://code.google.com/apis/storage/docs/overview.html > > Has anyone used it yet?
