Even though the files are stored in GCS, the Blobstore service generates the BlobInfo entities so it can keep track of all the uploaded files. If you delete anything, it may cause unstable behavior. If I recall correctly, these blobinfo entities are considered protected (either you can't delete them, or they'll be regenerated). If you want to avoid creating BlobInfo entities, you'll have to find some other way of processing uploaded files. If the incoming files are less than 32MB, you can simply handle them in the POST handler. If the incoming files are larger, you may want to look into Signed URLs: https://developers.google.com/storage/docs/accesscontrol#Signed-URLs (be sure to read the note in the gray box). ----------------- -Vinny P Technology & Media Advisor Chicago, IL App Engine Code Samples: http://www.learntogoogleit.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
