Being new to Google App Engine, I’ve got a question related to this one:

Storing data on a user's Google's account

Here is what I actually want to do:

  • Create an application using entirely Google App Engine and BigTable for persistence
  • But I do not want to use my own App Engine account. Instead I want to use the user’s account. For instance, an Android app should use the user’s account for persisting its data, not that of the app programmer.

Is this possible all?

    Is your goal to use the user’s quota for storage, rather than the application’s?

    You couldn’t do this using App Engine’s datastore (if that’s what you mean by “BigTable for persistence”) unless you did something really weird like have each user create their own App Engine app and communicate with it via REST.

    However, you could think about using the Drive SDK to store & retrieve data. Be aware that apps that use the Drive SDK must be installed via the Chrome Apps Store. Here’s a sample using App Engine.
