What options do I have in GAE to allow Users to upload, store, and view media (photos, video, audio, etc) from my within my application?
Is there a special data type in datastore that would be used to store media? If I store a media item in datastore then how do I display it to the User? In a regular app server, I would do this as a static file reference where I first transfer the data from the database to a file accessible under webroot (if it is not already present). But in GAE the application can NOT create files in the static area due to permissions...so is there another technique to accomplish this? Would videos best be served indirectly via youtube? If so, how do I know they will NOT be removed prematurely by youtube?
