Per the answer here: Upload images/video to google cloud storage using Google App Engine

I'm calling: 

upload_url = blobstore.create_upload_url(url, gs_bucket_name='my_bucket')

However, I'm still seeing the file being uploaded to the blobstore and not cloud storage.

This is on a local dev server and I'm verifying by checking the datastore kinds BlobInfo and GsFileInfo. When I use the Cloud Storage API directly to create and write to a file then I get a GsFileInfo, but when I try to upload directly to local Cloud Storage in the manner above then I get a new BlobInfo entity.

Any suggestions?

Also, is there another way to view the contents of local Cloud Storage? Any way to configure gsutil against local?

On the development server, cloud storage is simulated, and all blobs are uploaded to the blobstore.

  • That's what I was thinking. Thanks for confirming! – Todd Sep 26 '12 at 14:21
  • So, in local development the Cloud Storage not "store" files we put there? (maybe in tmp or somewhere else)? – Douglas Correa Jun 02 '13 at 00:00
  • it stores them locally - not in the real cloud storage service. – Stuart Langley Jun 02 '13 at 02:47
  • Thank you Stuart! But I'm using get_serving_url (with gs_create_key) in local dev server and I get an url that could not be opened. Should it work in local dev server?

  • Sorry, I'm getting OError: decoder jpeg not available, probably some problem with my PIL installation, I'll check it – Douglas Correa Jun 03 '13 at 19:48
