You read correctly. There is no way. We use Amazon S3 to handle the big files in our apps (5GB limit, very cheap, easy to set up, and edge-served if you want).
It's not that hard to use these together. The GAE app puts together a form that posts to Amazon S3 and redirects back to GAE. And then you can use a HTTP head fetch to get info about the file that was uploaded. -Joshua On Sep 16, 2009, at 4:12 PM, sal wrote: > > Is there a way to allow users to upload and download large files into > GAE?
