For the record, I did not find migrating my code from using Blobstore to use GCS easy. It took me a significant effort to understand what works and what does not and then rewrite the appropriate parts. Hopefully some of the issues I faced are now mitigated but not all of them, after all you have to change code that works and maybe you do not even understand any more.
Read this SO thread for some of the gotchas: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19287709/blobinfo-object-from-a-blobkey-created-using-blobstore-create-gs-key Currently all my new uploaded images end up in GCS but I still left the old ones in blobstore to avoid the day zero migration headache. Maybe one day I will be forced to move those over as well, this part should not be too much effort.

Also since cloud storage is not free, I might prefer to use blobstore as long as it won't be deprecated in the near future. Any suggestions? Go ahead and use blobstore for now if the cost issue is big enough, otherwise use Cloud Storage. While there have been rumblings that blobstore will eventually be deprecated, it's easy enough to migrate to Cloud Storage when that occurs. ----------------- -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.
