Question

According to this Wikipedia article, you are allowed 3,000 files per app but I was reading a thread on Google Groups that someone’s Java app received a warning when it tried to upload more than 1,000 files – he got around it by bundling some files inside jars. Which is correct?

Answer 1

Updated from [Python Appengine Quotas and Limits]

• Maximum total number of files (app files and static files): 10,000 total, 1,000 per directory
• Maximum size of an application file: 32 megabytes
• Maximum size of a static file: 32 megabytes

Guido van Rossum provides the answer in Google App Engine issue 161:

All, the combined limit on static and
code files has indeed increased to
3000. There is no plan to increase it further. The following limits are also
still in place:

• 150 MB max combined size of code files

• 10 MB max individual size of any file

• 1000 files max per directory (not counting files in subdirectories)

In the quoted message, “blob” refers
to static files; “file” refers to code
files.
