Is there a particular part of the images serving flow that you need help with? You can use GCS in pretty much the same way as the Blobstore. You can generate a GCS blob key by using createGsBlobKey in BlobstoreService ( https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/javadoc/com/google/appengine/api/blobstore/BlobstoreService). As an example, here's a code fragment to generate a serving URL for GCS-stored images: http://learntogoogleit.com/post/53495330286/serving-url-for-images-stored-in-cloud-storage (full disclosure: I wrote the example) ----------------- -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.
