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.
