Hi Max, There are two components in this issue, both of which are important to us:
1. The Blobstore itself 2. Programmatic write to Blobstore 1. We take advantage of in-built Blobstore features for storing and serving images. Our mobile apps have been designed to consume images in a Blobstore-specific way. Moving to GCS would require "deprecating" all these app installations. 2. We store images by using the Files API to programmatically write to Blobstore. The "non-programmatic write" alternative proved to be unsuitable (too slow) for mobile apps because it would result in too many HTTP request/response cycles. If you're going to deprecate the Files API, please provide an alternative to write to Blobstore programmatically. Thank you.
