i haven't used the default that writes to bigtable in a while, but i believe it just works.

i use the image library against images uploaded to blobstore: https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/images/ it looks like that has been improved to have more flexibility then when i first implemented it.

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.  My question, then, is what would be the
analogy to response.download be for such fields?  Does it also "just work"
as when an app has access to the DB?  Will the URL used be the same?  And
how would the app access these files directly (for example, if they were
image files that needed to be modified using the GAE analogy of PIL)?

Niphlod is correct - no storing on the filesystem.  datastore or blobstore
to store your uploaded files on GAE.

If I'm not mistaken, GAE filesystem is not writable.... your only option

Are there any issues with using the various upload-related Field options
when runnning under GAE?  In particular, I'm wondering about the
uploadfolder & uploadseparate options.  How would using these affect using
response.download in a controller?
